Ballet For A Rainy Day Lyrics

    Orange and lemon
    Raincoats roll and tumble
    Together, just liked fruit tipped from a tray
    Pineapple wet heads
    Watch new hairdos crumble
    As scenery sunlight shifts away

    Ballet for a rainy day
    Silent film of melting miracle play

    Apples and cherries
    Are varnished in water
    Despite, striped awnings bright dismay
    I push my paintbrush
    To conjure a new world
    While this one is slowly washed away

    Ballet for a rainy day
    Silent film of melting miracle play
    Dancing out there through my window
    To the backdrop of a slow descending grey

    When it rains it rains
    All the colors in my paintbox
    When it rains it rains
    Tickets for the front row seats
    Up on the rooftops

    Orange and lemon
    Raincoats roll and tumble
    Apples and cherries
    Together, dropped in diamond disarray

    Ballet for a rainy day
    Silent film of melting miracle play
    Dancing out there through my window
    Behind the curtain silver falling
    Ballet for a rainy day
    Silent film of melting miracle play
    Dancing out there through my window
    To the backdrop of a slow descending grey
