Orange and lemon 
Raincoats roll and tumble 
Together, just liked fruit tipped from a tray 
Pineapple wet heads 
Watch new hairdos crumble 
As scenery sunlight shifts away 

Ballet for a rainy day 
Silent film of melting miracle play 

Apples and cherries 
Are varnished in water 
Despite, striped awnings bright dismay 
I push my paintbrush 
To conjure a new world 
While this one is slowly washed away 

Ballet for a rainy day 
Silent film of melting miracle play 
Dancing out there through my window 
To the backdrop of a slow descending grey 

When it rains it rains 
All the colors in my paintbox 
When it rains it rains 
Tickets for the front row seats 
Up on the rooftops 

Orange and lemon 
Raincoats roll and tumble 
Together, dropped in diamond disarray 

Ballet for a rainy day 
Silent film of melting miracle play 
Dancing out there through my window 
Behind the curtain silver falling 
Ballet for a rainy day 
Silent film of melting miracle play 
Dancing out there through my window 
To the backdrop of a slow descending grey
