Second track from 'A Stitch in Time'

lyrics

I like to go walking in the rain.
The dry northern air just makes me dizzy.
For when I walk in the rain
I feel my sadness slain
and I can walk tall again

I like to go creeping in the night.
There's a certain spark there that is missing
from proceedings in the day
that takes my breath away
so the night feels brighter anyway

Chorus
Smiles aren't natural
they're garish, cheap and bland,
so I'd rather be a sour and dour mess.
You think what you like
cos I really do not care
as I take my shoes and stroll atop my righteous higher plain
when I go walking in the rain.

They judge me for walking in the rain
they say the sunshine's much more pleasant
and I suppose the sunshine's not so bad
but it don't make me half as glad
as when I see those drips a-dropping

And when I go scuttling in the night
the rain's caress is even better
and yes, I welcome your distain
if you think I'm out my brain
for going walking in the rain

Chorus

Cease.

Chorus

When I go walking in the rain (dry northern air just makes me dizzy)
