[Verse 1]
I was there when the rain changed direction
And fled to play tricks with your hair
Overlooking them there and it's all coming back
And you're prowling the track like a cat on the back of a chair
And the clouds opened up
For the aul' ones to look down and detail, in books, the affair
And it's all coming back
And the main thing is that the rain changed direction
Before you were there, ah

[Verse 2]
I was there when the rain changed direction
And fled to play tricks with your hair
Overlooking them there and it's all coming back
And you're prowling the track like a cat on the back of a chair
And the bulletin board
Was shot up like a ward full of junk and all kinds of despair
And it's all coming back
And the main thing is that the rain changed direction
Before you were there, ah

[Interlude]
Under the fallen colours gone unthrown
Ah, you're all prone to being anyone else other than you?
Are you all prone? Does anyone know?
And they just wanna come to your place and see you sing
[Verse 3]
I was there when the rain changed direction
And fled to play tricks with your hair
Overlooking them there and it's all coming back
And you're prowling the track like a cat on the back of a chair
And the clouds opened up
For the aul' ones to look down and detail, in books, the affair
And it's all coming back
And the main thing is that the rain changed direction

[Verse 4]
I was there when the rain changed direction
And fled to play tricks with your hair
Overlooking them there and it's all coming back
And you're prowling the track like a cat on the back of a chair
And the bulletin board
Was shot up like a ward full of junk and all kinds of despair
And it's all coming back
And the main thing is that the rain changed direction
Before you were there, ah
