lyrics

After the Rain

The street lights seemed so much brighter tonight.
The excitement in the air seemed so much stronger than before.
He misses the voices of his friends – they left him all alone.
He’s all alone.
A face distracts him from his life and leads him into another world.
In another world.

No reasons given, no questions asked.
But for love, he’d do anything. But for love, he’d go anywhere.
Anywhere at all. Anywhere at all.

There are no lights anymore, the scent has faded from his life.
With no distractions anymore and with time on his side.
No fairground lights tonight, he makes his way back home.
His way back home. His way back home. His way back home.

Lyrics by Terry Welbourn © 1980 : Dead Good Tunes/Street Corner Music Ltd.
