Manchester rain falling from the sky Heavenly tears land in your eye Land in your eye Manchester rain Girl in a photograph girl in a dream On the cover of a magazine Sweet and serene in the Manchester rain Take me down just take me away To some other time when i knew what to say And the girl came to stay in the Manchester rain All the fields are brown And the buildings are grey In the north of England On a winters day They took her heart and they threw it away They took her heart they still have it today It faded away in the Manchester rain A pink suitcase and a broken vase Mothers ruin where do we start She just went her own way She just went her own way All the fields are brown And the buildings are grey In the north of England On a winters day Mud out the back and damp on the wall Kids on the roof of the Lad's club hall They're having a ball they're having it all Falling from the sky Falling from the sky Again and again and again and again
