I'm standing here in the pouring rain, I'm waiting for you. 
Without any shelter, I'm drenched to the bone. 
My head is aching from all the thoughts that are passing through 
They're my last resort, 'cause I'm thinking of you. 
 
And as I'm standing there the picture starts to blur, 
It's fading – I'm feeling lost. 
I'd appreciate your coming now, 'cause it's getting cold (so cold). 
 
I can't express where I'm going through 
Sometimes I think I'm in paradise 
The image lingers on and you too 
I can see the fire burning in your eyes 
This should be love without disguise. 
 
 
When you turn up you say you left a long time ago, 
You don't give reasons, just an umbrella with holes. 
Your arguments are lousy but there's no way to win 
And no thoughts to waste on what else could have been. 
 
So as I'm standing there the picture starts to clear, 
Game over – I'm on my own. 
I'd appreciate your absence now, 'cause I feel low (so low). 
 
I can't express where I'm going through 
But I guess I was banned from paradise. 
The rain keeps falling and me too. 
Don't you see the teardrops leaving these sad eyes? 
A broken heart has no disguise 
 
 
You left me bleeding but what I didn't expect 
Is who I'd fall in love with, who'd mend my heart, rest my mind. 
Who is still faithful though I love a new girl 
Who gives me shelter when I don't like this world 
 
I started dreaming and till today I still do 
I write my stories 'bout me and you. 
I put the things that weigh hard on my mind in songs (just little tunes) 
 
I can't express where I'm going through 
But to me this is close to paradise 
I let my thoughts go wild and free 
I strike you softly and close my eyes 
This must be love without disguise.
