And if it rains all day
Call on you I'll call on you
Like I used to
Slide down beside and wrap you in stories
Tailored entirely for you
I'll remind you
We exchanged a vow
I love you I always will
A call girl with yesterday eyes
Was our witness and priest
Stockport supporters club kindly supplied us a choir
Your veil was your smile
As we move down the aisle
Of the last bus home
And this is where I go
Just when it rains
Blinking and stoned
Rain in your hair
You only smoke ‘cause it's something to share
Singing bring on the night
To have and to hold
The sodium light turning silver to gold
Spitfire thin and strung like a violin
I was
Yours was the face with a grace
From a different age
You were the sun in my Sunday morning
You were the sun in my Sunday morning
Telling me never to go
So I'll live on the smile
And move down the isle
Of the last bus home
And if you're running late
This is where I'll go
Know I'll always wait

Review about Great Expectations No words can articulate the beauty of this song.. | Reviewer: Steve Lane | 7/14/09
I had a very beautiful 2 months with a girl I'd adored for years. We split up, but this music will always take me back. I have to choose my moments when I listen to it..
The line "You only smoke,cos it's something to share" really hits home..
Coyney from Liverpool, I totally agree and dont give a F***....
beautiful and haunting | Reviewer: Anonymous | 8/21/08
even just reading the lyrics sends shivers down my spine. The chorus
A call girl with yesterday eyes
Was our witness and priest
Stockport supporters club kindly supplied us a choir
Your veil was your smile
As we move down the aisle
Of the last bus home
And this is where I go
Just when it rains
is one of the most beautiful pieces of love poetry I´ve ever read

This song has brought me to tears as well, it's so beautiful. "You were the sun in my Sunday morning" reminds me of those mornings with an old love of mine, making a big lazy breakfast, happy and hopeful and believing love could last forever.
