ub40 - walked in the rain lyrics

i've been away
high on a breeze
tasted the salt of the seven blue seas
washed upon shores
sun in my eyes
stayed long enough just to say my goodbyes...

i walked in the rain
wet me through and through
following rainbows that lead me back to you
i've always believed
in what i've been told
where rainbows end there's a pot of gold...

i'll read the stars
talk to the moon
stop when i hear somebody playing our tune
any excuse
and you'll see me
drifting back home to the place i should be...

some people say
listen to me
mostly i find that i disagree
they tell me to change
set myself free
i'm not convinced i don't want to be me

maybe i'll stay
maybe i'll go
maybe i'll stick around i don't know
one thing for sure
this i can say
i'm coming back; i've been so far away
