Moon on the Rain

Jazz in a basement bar, the moon's on the rain

Drunk too much, spent too much, penniless again

Oh sweetheart where are you tonight

I remember when we used to walk by the Thames

The lights on the embankment like jewels on chains

I'll never forget what you said at the start

You said â??I'll put a string of lights 'round your heartâ??

I've got your photograph, the one that you signed

Tucked in my pocket, all tattered by time

Oh sweetheart who's with you tonight

Are you there at the roundabouts, down in the park

Where you sneak through the railings, when it's locked after dark

Is she learning the song you taught me at the start

The one the bells and the banjos played on our hearts

Now the bars are all empty, everybody's gone home

Perhaps I'll walk down the embankment alone

Oh sweetheart I'm glad that we met

And that there's jazz in the basement bars

And jewels on chains

'Cause I've drunk too much

And spent too much

But there's moon on the rain
