[Verse 1]
After the fair
At the end of the day
When your love is lost
In the pouring rain
Lights go out
On the carousel
A distant memory
I know it all too well
[Chorus]
And so I sing for the lover that has lost in the rain
A song for sorrow, a song for the pain
Look to tomorrow before it's gone
It's gone away
[Verse 2]
Do I run?
Or do I hide away?
Do I curse my tears
In this lonely place?
Do I stand
And face the changing sea?
Make the pieces fit
So easily
[Chorus]
And so I sing for the lover that has lost in the rain
A song for sorrow, a song for the pain
Look to tomorrow before it's gone
It's gone away
[Instrumental]
[Chorus]
And so I sing for the lover that has lost in the rain
A song for sorrow, a song for the pain
Look to tomorrow before it's gone
It's gone away
[Outro]
Before it's gone
Gone away
