Aspidistra Flies

All the umbrellas in London couldn't hide my love for you
All the rain on tentside couldn't stop you shining through
I dreamt of you last night, lying next to me in blue
All the umbrellas in London couldn't hide my love for you

Run to the window and call out my name
We'll meet where the sun goes to hide from the rain
from the rain
from the rain

All the umbrellas in London couldn't hide my love for you
When everyone else is hiding, rain is sometimes drunk at two
You whisper sweet lies to me, and one of them will be true
All the umbrellas in London couldn't hide my love for you

The boom of the city at evening is still
You whisper come to me and I always will
always will
always will

All the rain in this town and still the sky was blue
St. James Square was teeming with doves and at sunset they flew
Across the darkened city to an attic room for two
All the umbrellas in London couldn't hide my love for you

Why do you hide your love from me
I counted all the lights, they don't shine as bright
They don't pierce the night like you do
like you do
like you do
like you do
