Lyrics
Rain falls on drowsy broken walls
Summer says goodbye
Enthralled by warmer lands
Away it flies
Keep the fire low
Look in your crystal ball
Put on that special show
No escape today
Rain whispers to one and all
Lovers say goodbye (lovers say goodbye)
Calling with the same demands
Their mystified
Keep the fire low
Look in your crystal ball
Put on that special show
No escape today. No
As you gaze
It's all displayed
Like pieces on a board
(Instrumental)
No escape today. No
Rain falls on broken stones
Lovers wave goodbye
Into the night they crash and fall
With alibis
Keep the fire low
Look in your crystal ball
Put on that special show
No escape today
As you stare
I'm almost there
Most foolish of them all
Keep the fire low
Look in your crystal ball
Put on that special show
No escape today
(Outro)
