-
- Remember when you
were nine or ten
- And you set out for
school in the rain?
- The air smelled sweet
in the glistening street
- Where you were
building your dams in the drains
-
- The sky grew dark as
you cut through the park
- And the cold made you
shiver just right
- You never wanted to
get where you were going
- And your feet were
moving slower all the time
-
- (Chorus):
- When it rains now darling, I
never hide
- I put on my coat and I go
outside
- Looking for a feeling you can't
quite keep
- Secret of the rain filled street
- Secret of the rain
-
- I'm gonna buy me some
black rubber boots
- You know the ones
kids wear, orange toes
- Big yellow rain coat
and a fisherman hat
- And I'll follow that
stream where it goes
-
- Won't mean a thing if
that school bell rings
- And I sure won't hear
the telephone
- Might get a soaker, I
might catch a chill
- But when I've lost my
way, I'll be home
-
- (Chorus)
-
- Remember when you
were nine or ten
- And you set out for
school in the rain?
