You'd better get so - me sleep for a change
Before to - morrow bring - s you down
By three o' - clock they'll both be sitting on that plane
Hopelessly honeymoon bound
And I hope no one asks you to kiss this bride
Or tie tin cans to the car
And if friends and re - lations mingle out - side
You can linger at the bar
So bring on the rainclouds
and block out the moon
Let the action be - gin
Cos it's as sure as sunrise
and as sure as time
The bride will be changing
and you will be crying
And it will be raining
as soon as the tide comes in
You'll feel like some soap opera star
Pre - dictably hitting the booze
With your standard issue broken heart
You step into your saturday shoes
And you might feel better if you slapped her face
Or slipped some pills in his wine
But in - stead some voice in your head keeps saying
You'll look back and laugh some - time
So bring on the rainclouds
and block out the moon
Let the action be - gin
Cos it's as sure as sunrise
and as sure as time
The bride will be changing
and you will be crying
And it will be raining
as soon as the tide comes in
Yeah it will be raining
as soon as the tide comes in
So put on your lipstick
and check that you hat's straight
too
Cos if they can go through with this
you can do it
too
So bring on the rainclouds
and block out the moon
Let the action be - gin
Cos it's as sure as sunrise
and as sure as time
The bride will be changing
and you will be crying
And it will be raining
as soon as the tide comes in
Yeah it will be raining
as soon as the tide comes in
