Love on a Rainy Platform
Romantic storytelling love song: bright strummed acoustic guitar, stomping handclaps and a raspy, earnest male voice, building to a big final chorus. Warm and hopeful, with lyrics about a love story that begins on a rainy train platform.
Lyrics
The morning air was thick and greyI watched the clouds roll through the bayI stood there waiting for the five-fifteenJust another face in the routineYou had a book and a worn-out bagChecking your watch as the minutes laggedThen the sky opened up and the deluge cameWe both ran for cover from the summer rainRight there on the platformUnder the rusting tin roofRight there on the platformLove was the only proofThe world turned to waterBut I found a place to stayRight there on the platformEverything changed that dayYou asked for the time with a nervous smileWe talked for a minute, then a mileThe tracks were wet and the lights were lowBut I didn't want that train to showRight there on the platformUnder the rusting tin roofRight there on the platformLove was the only proofThe world turned to waterBut I found a place to stayRight there on the platformEverything changed that dayThe doors slid open with a heavy sighBut we stayed behind as the crowd went byLet the engine roar and the whistles blowWe had a better place to goRight there on the platformUnder the rusting tin roofRight there on the platformLove was the only proofThe world turned to waterBut I found a place to stayRight there on the platformEverything changed that day
