Pretty lover in the pouring rain
I wanna tell you what a fool I've been
Oh, I... I met a devil with an angel's face
And I... I spent tonight inside his warm embrace
But I was colder than I've ever known
And now it's over
And I think I'm falling
Out of my broken aeroplane
I wanna fall into the river
But the river is dry
The river is dry
Pretty lover won't you talk to me
Take us back to where we were used to be
Oh I... I was stupid in the path I chose
I didn't know but baby now I know
That it is cold inside a stranger's arms
And now it's over
And I think I'm falling
Out of my broken aeroplane
I wanna fall into the river
But the river is dry
The river is dry
Oh lover we were meant to be
They could write the book about our history
Oh I... understand that it might take a while
Please don't take too much time
'Cos I think I'm falling
Out of my broken aeroplane
I wanna fall into the river
But the river is dry
And I think I'm falling
Out of my broken aeroplane
I wanna fall into the river
But the river is dry
The river is dry
The river is dry
The river is dry
The river is dry
The river is dry
