If it's not raining you can see right down the hill from my friend's window To the church at the foot of the council flats that I pass when I walk home And here I am with time on my hands and newsprint on my elbows And she's all heart But I'm all thumbs And we're both just skin and bones My life is changing Sometimes it feels as though it changes with the weather It was winter for a while but now the sun is shining through She laughs at that old saying 'let a smile be your umbrella' I tell her 'the next time that it's raining I will hold it over you' I like the way that she looks at me I like every little bit of this When she's here I'm always happy And when she's not I'm happyish Today it's raining There is nowhere I would rather be than this room Let's close the doors until the air hangs heavy with wet wool I'm feeling reckless: let's have breakfast in the middle of the afternoon She's all smiles And I'm also And we're always wonderful
