Linton Kwesi Johnson - Loraine lyrics

Whenever it rains I think of you And I always remember that day in may When I saw you walking in the rain I know not what it was nor why For ususally I'm quite shy I ax'd your name, you smile and said "Lorraine" I ax'd if I could share your umbrella You smiled and said "what a cheeky little fella" Now I'm standin' in the rain in vain, Loraine Hoping to see you again Tears fall from me eyes like rain, Loraine A terrible pain in me brain, Loraine You're drivin' me insane Whenever it rains I think of you And I always remember that day in may When I saw you walking in the rain I know not what it was nor why For ususally I'm quite shy but from the moment I saw you I knew, that I needed you in my life from that moment on I knew that I wanted you for my wife Now I'm standin' in the rain in vain, Loraine Hoping to see you again Tears fall from me eyes like rain, Loraine A terrible pain in me brain, Loraine You're drivin' me insane Whenever it rains I think of you And I always remember that day in may When I saw you walking in the rain I know not what it was nor why For ususally I'm quite shy I said " let's go back to my place for some coffee" You frown and said "well, kiss me batty" I fell so ashamed, I did not even notice When your bus came, and went again Now I'm standin' in the rain in vain, Loraine Hoping to see you again Tears fall from me eyes like rain, Loraine A terrible pain in me brain, Loraine You're drivin' me insane, Loraine, Loraine, Loraine
