Sarah in the rain

Like the rain falling on the sand
Like the cotton in your hand
Like the maiden on her rest day

Across the grey divide now
Stand and listen
Don't let this one get away now

And nothing breaks my heart in two like winter
And Sarah in the rain

Sarah says she's broken
Writes the days of the saints and their names on her wall
She knows them all by heart now

One for the seas and the breeze in the night
Fill your sails and one for reason or spite
One for empty houses

And nothing breaks my heart in two like winter
And Sarah in the rain
And she knows its fine to romanticise
But dancing horses don't think outside
Like Sarah in the rain

And she don't know where to turn
Cause it's still November and she don't know anyone
Who keeps their horses turning

And Sarah still believes
She goes to prayers and she swears that nothing's changed at all
Round here

And nothing breaks my heart in two like winter
And Sarah in the rain
And she thinks she's crazy
But it's only when she's tired she's ageing
Like Sarah in the rain
