Goodbye dark sky
And slow trains that roll by
And grey skies that mark my
Chances i've passed by

It sounds like eternity
It sounds like eternity

In a coastal town, after the rain
You're my brightest star, you're my best friend
In a coastal town after the rain
You're my brightest start, we met at the start

My heart is a goldmine, from a land that's lost
Seeing a dream fade, I sailed off course

It sounds like eternity
It sounds like eternity

In a coastal town, after the rain
You're my brightest star, you're my best friend
In a coastal town, after the rain
You're my brightest star, you're my best friend

I talk to you and it feels all the same
One more minute's enough to pretend
And if I ever want to see him again
Just close my eyes and think back to the end

After the rain
After the rain

So I talk to you and it still feels the same
One more minute's enough to pretend
And if I ever want to see him again
Just close my eyes and wait 'til the end

A coastal town
After the rain

A coastal town
After the rain

In a coastal town
Still feels the same

A coastal town
After the rain

After the rain

After the rain

Other opinions

mid-tempo tune, which sounds uncannily like late eighties Erasure in places. hard to work out if this is a happy or sad tune, but going by the rest of the album, i'd plump for the latter. example lyrics: "In a coastal town, after the rain You're my brightest star, my best friend In a coastal town, after the rain You're my brightest star, we met at the start (?)"
