Palmistry

[Intro]

Your guardian angel has put candles on both your knees

One on each knee; a white one on the left

And a blue one on the right

He's telling you not to worry

[Verse 1]

She slept in her car at Beachy Head

The indigo sky turned to fire

Then she gave in to desire

Mother and father never sleep

They watch and wait for the day to begin

[Pre-Chorus]

Then the radio played a sweet serenade

And the sky crashed in

[Chorus]

Won't you tell me why

When I think of her it makes me cry?

Tell me what the future will be

Take my hands and practice palmistry

Won't you tell me how

I'm supposed to carry on right now?

Knowing I won't touch her again

Feel the cold and feel the rain

[Verse 2]

She slept in her car at Beachy Head

The indigo sky turned to black

And then she never came back

Mother and father burn the funeral pyre

They lie down to dream of the end

Then it's tea time

Endless night life

With their invisible friend

[Pre-Chorus]

Then the radio played a sweet serenade

And the sky crashed in

[Chorus]

Won't you tell me why

When they think of her it makes them cry?

Knowing what the future will be

Take their hands and practice palmistry

Won't you tell them how

They're supposed to carry on right now?

Knowing they won't touch her again

Feel the cold and feel the rain

[Bridge]

Feel the cold

And feel the rain

Feel the cold

And feel the rain

[Chorus]

Won't you tell me why

When I think of you it makes me cry?

Tell me what the future will be

Take my hand and practice palmistry

Won't you tell me how

I'm supposed to carry on right now?

Knowing I won't touch you again

Feel the cold and feel the rain

Feel the cold and feel the rain
