Lyrics
Platform four, the rain's on the tin The clock says late, the board says wait A man with a paper, a girl with a bag We're all just standing, nobody sad Rain on the tin roof, train not here Nobody's hurrying, nothing's near I'll stand a while and watch it fall Maybe the wait is the best of it all Puddles gather where the yellow line ends A porter whistles for absent friends Your coat is damp and your smile is slow Where are you headed, I'd like to know Rain on the tin roof, train not here Nobody's hurrying, nothing's near I'll stand a while and watch it fall Maybe the wait is the best of it all Lamps are lit along the track Every one of them calls you back But you were leaving, so was I Under the same grey sky Then a far-off light, a distant hum The rails are singing, here it comes I'll hold the door, you take the seat Strangers make the best company Rain on the tin roof, train is here Nobody's hurrying, the road is clear We'll watch the platform slip away And thank the rain for the delay Rain on the tin roof Thank the rain for the delay
