It's funny how the smile in your eyes Is slowly fading with the last days in July The year is drowning like the calendar grows thin You'll sail away again with your back against the wind And when the cold wind blows, you're gone And I will hold my head again But you can't run from the truth Of oooh the London rain Please send me beaches when my world is cold and weak And press me flowers in the pages of the diaries you keep It still won't fill the spot beside me in the bed where you sleep As the calendar repeats And when the cold wind blows, you're gone And I will hold my head again But you can't run from the truth Of oooh the London rain Yeah, just say it like you mean it A last look of summer on your face I swear I believe that That someday you will stay I can't take or leave it I'll take it anywhere with you I'll take it anywhere And when the cold wind blows, you're gone And I will hold my head again But you can't run from the truth Of oooh the London rain
