Lyric

[Verse 1]

[M] Rain on the awning

[F] A red bus sighs by

[M] You stood by the corner

[F] With one shy eye

[M] My shoes were soaked through

[F] Your laugh ran close

[M] We shared the last dry step

[F] And said the least, almost

[Pre-Chorus]

[M] The evening leaned in

[F] Slow as a lantern

[M] Your hands were cold

[F] Mine started warming

[Chorus]

Both: Nine o'clock rain

Both: Stay a while, stay a while

Both: Nine o'clock rain

Both: Your smile, your smile

[M] Little town glow

[F] On your sleeve, on your sleeve

Both: Nine o'clock rain

Both: You and me, you and me

[Verse 2]

[F] We walked past the bakery

[M] Past the closed-up shop

[F] Past the window with the plant

[M] And the dripping stop

[F] You told me your name

[M] Like a secret song

[F] I told you the street

[M] I’d been missing for so long

[Pre-Chorus]

[M] The dark got gentler

[F] Under your shadow

[M] Your breath made mist

[F] On the glass of tomorrow

[Chorus]

Both: Nine o'clock rain

Both: Stay a while, stay a while

Both: Nine o'clock rain

Both: Your smile, your smile

[M] Little town glow

[F] On your sleeve, on your sleeve

Both: Nine o'clock rain

Both: You and me, you and me

[Bridge]

[F] If the road forgets us

[M] Let it take its time

[F] I found a soft place

[M] Right here in your line

Both: Hmm-mm, hmm-mm

Both: Under the rain, we shine

[Final Chorus]

Both: Nine o'clock rain

Both: Stay a while, stay a while

Both: Nine o'clock rain

Both: Your smile, your smile

[M] Little town glow

[F] On your sleeve, on your sleeve

Both: Nine o'clock rain

Both: You and me, you and me
