I was there
 
 When the rain changed direction
 
 And fled to play tricks with your hair
 
 Overlooking them, there
 
 And it's all coming back
 
 And you're prowling the track
 
 Like a cat on the back of a chair
 
 And the clouds opened up
 
 For the aul' ones to look down
 
 And detail, in books, the affair
 
 And it's all coming back
 
 And the main thing is that the rain changed
 
 Direction before you were there
 
 Ah
 
  
  I was there
 
 When the rain changed direction
 
 And fled to play tricks with your hair
 
 Overlooking them, there
 
 And it's all coming back
 
 And you're prowling the track
 
 Like a cat on the back of a chair
 
 And the bulletin board
 
 Was shot up like a ward full of junk
 
 And all kinds of despair
 
 And it's all coming back
 
 And the main thing is that the rain changed
 
 Direction before you were there
 
 Ah-ah
  
 
 Under fallen colours gone unthrown
 
 Ah, you're all prone
 
 To being anyone else
 
 Other than you?
 
 Are you all prone?
 
 Does anyone know?
 
 And they just wanna come to your place and see you sing
  
 
 I was there
 
 When the rain changed direction
 
 And fled to play tricks with your hair
 
 Overlooking them, there
 
 And it's all coming back
 
 And you're prowling the track
 
 Like a cat on the back of a chair
 
 And the clouds opened up
 
 For the aul' ones to look down
 
 And detail, in books, the affair
 
 And it's all coming back
 
 And the main thing is that the rain changed direction
  
 
 I was there
 
 When the rain changed direction
 
 And fled to play tricks with your hair
 
 Overlooking them, there
 
 And it's all coming back
 
 And you're prowling the track
 
 Like a cat on the back of a chair
 
 And the bulletin board
 
 Was shot up like a ward full of junk
 
 And all kinds of despair
 
 And it's all coming back
 
 And the main thing is that the rain changed direction
 
 Before you were there
 
 Ah
