Lyrics
It's funny how the smile in your eyes is slowly fading with the last days in July. The year is drowning like the calendar grows thin. You'll sail away again with your back against the wind. And when the cold wind blows you're gone. And I will hold my head again. But you can't run from the truth of the London Rain. Please send me beaches when my world is cold and weak. And press me flowers in the pages of the diaries you keep. It still won't fill the spot beside me in the bed where you sleep, as the calendar repeats. And when the cold wind blows you're gone. And I will hold my head again. But you can't run from the truth of the London Rain. Just say it like you mean it, a last look of summer on your face. I swear I'll believe that someday you will stay. I can't take it or leave it, I'll take it anywhere with you. Last rains are falling on the first days of June.
