Lyrics

Dark clouds in the afternoon heat
Blue haze hanging over the street
A car crash every time we meet
I can’t see far enough
I need a pick me up

I looked for a sign 
It was there, but I’ve changed my mind
And it’s clear, crystal clear
We’re heading somewhere better 
Raise your face to the rain

The road turns to a river in spate
The cities drifting down the drain
Thrown together by the strangest of fates
I can’t see far enough
I need a pick me up

I looked for a sign 
It was there, it was there all the time 
And it’s clear, crystal clear
We’re heading somewhere better 
Raise your face to the rain

No- one wants to know
Quickly passing by 
Let it all dissolve
In the Edinburgh Rain

Rain shines, in the station with you
A train arrives, a train passes through
An open mind with nothing to lose
I can’t see far enough
I need a pick me up

I looked for a sign 
It was there, it was there all the time 
And it’s clear, crystal clear
We’re heading somewhere better 
Raise your face to the rain

Now it’s clear, crystal clear
There’s no- one on the platform
In the Edinburgh Rain
