Waking up to
The sweet tune of the rain
Gone the shades of blue
Playing in my head
Through the avenue, I gaze
No-one there to embrace
Cool vapours take me to
Another time and place
If you arrive and don't see me
I'm gonna be with my baby
If you arrive and don't see me
I'm gonna be in the country
From the coach, I see
Trees of green and leaves of gold
Shady trails
A purple river made of souls
The woods ring a dance
I catch your laugh from ashore
Any chance,
That you've been there before?
If you arrive and don't see me
I'm gonna be with my baby
If you arrive and don't see me
I'm gonna be in the country
A stream flows
By the ancient house
A whisper of wind
A sloping yard, you sit on a swing
Those kisses from you
Take the rain off the avenue
You start singing, I think I'll stay
I'll stay here for a few
If you arrive and don't see me
I'm gonna be with my baby
If you arrive and don't see me
I'm gonna be in the country
With my baby
In the country
With my baby
