Moon On The Rain Lyrics - The First Of A Million Kisses - Fairground Attraction

Jazz in a basement bar, the moon's on the rain 

Drunk too much, spent too much, penniless again 

Oh, sweetheart, where are you tonight? 

I remember when we used to walk by the Thames 

The lights on the embankment like jewels on chains 

I'll never forget what you said at the start 

You said, "I'll put a string of lights 'round your heart" 

I've got your photograph, the one that you signed 

Tucked in my pocket, all tattered by time 

Oh, sweetheart who's with you tonight? 

Are you there at the roundabouts, down in the park 

Where you sneak through the railings, when it's locked after dark? 

Is she learning the song you taught me at the start? 

The one the bells and the banjos played on our hearts 

Now the bars are all empty, everybody's gone home 

Perhaps I'll walk down the embankment alone 

Oh, sweetheart, I'm glad that we met 

And that there's jazz in the basement bars and jewels on chains 

'Cause I've drunk too much and spent too much 

But there's moon on the rain
