Loraine Lyrics - Bass Culture - Linton Kwesi Johnson

Whenever it rains, I think of you 

And I always remember that day in May 

When I saw you walking in the rain 

I know not what it was nor why 

For usually I'm quite shy 

I ax'd your name, you smile and said, "Lorraine" 

I ax'd if I could share your umbrella 

You smiled and said, "What a cheeky little fella" 

Now I'm standin' in the rain in vain, Loraine 

Hoping to see you again 

Tears fall from me eyes like rain, Loraine 

A terrible pain in me brain, Loraine 

You're drivin' me insane 

Whenever it rains, I think of you 

And I always remember that day in May 

When I saw you walking in the rain 

I know not what it was nor why 

For usually I'm quite shy 

But from the moment I saw you 

I knew, that I needed you in my life 

From that moment on I knew 

That I wanted you for my wife 

Now I'm standin' in the rain in vain, Loraine 

Hoping to see you again 

Tears fall from me eyes like rain, Loraine 

A terrible pain in me brain, Loraine 

You're drivin' me insane 

Whenever it rains, I think of you 

And I always remember that day in May 

When I saw you walking in the rain 

I know not what it was nor why 

For usually I'm quite shy 

I said, "Let's go back to my place for some coffee" 

You frown and said, "Well, kiss me batty" 

I fell so ashamed, I did not even notice 

When your bus came, and went again 

Now I'm standin' in the rain in vain, Loraine 

Hoping to see you again 

Tears fall from me eyes like rain, Loraine 

A terrible pain in me brain, Loraine 

You're drivin' me insane, Loraine, Loraine, Loraine
