a rainy night in soho

Friday, Oct. 24, 2003 2:28 pm

I've been lovin you a long time,
down all the years, down all the days,
and I've cried for all your troubles
smiled at your funny little ways

we watched our friends grow up together
and we saw them as they fell
some of them fell into heaven
some of them fell in hell

I took shelter from a shower
and I stepped into your arms
on a rainy night in soho
the wind was whistling all it's charms

I sang you all my sorrows
you told me all your joys
whatever happened to that old song?
to all those little girls and boys?

sometimes I'd wake up in the morning,
the ginger lady by my bed
covered in a cloak of silence
I hear you talkin in my head

I'm not singin' for the future
I'm not dreaming of the past
I'm not talkin' of the first times
I never think about the last

now this song is nearly over
we may never find out what it means
still there's a lot I hold before me

you're the measure of my dreams
the measure of my dreams.

-The Pogues, "A Rainy Night in Soho"
