You were there on the morning
That smashed and went everywhere
Piece of it went in your wine.
You downed it in one
And through some kind of alchemy
Found out you’re yours and not mine.
And who would have thought,
Who’d have pictured you smiling
So wide,
With nothing to lose
And nothing, oh nothing
To hide?
Where I saw disaster,
You saw opportunity.
Must have a different-shaped brain.
When air turns to water,
Then you’re in your element.
Kick off your high heels and dance
Like a frog in the rain.
Did I tell you I grew up
In thunderstorm territory?
May meant a black sky at noon.
We sweated and swore
And we rolled up our sleeves
And we prayed for the rain to hit soon.
And when it cut loose,
When the ocean flashed down
On the lawn,
The frogs on the patio
Sang like bullfinches
At dawn,
Leaping on high
For sheer animal happiness.
Strange, but you strike me the same.
When air turns to water,
Then you’re in your element.
Kick off your high heels and dance
Like a frog in the rain.
Well, the die has been cast
And the Rubicon crossed
Though your friends think you’re lost
And you’re raving.
But I won’t say go slow
Just ‘cos I would go slow
When for you, there’s a world
Still worth saving.
And I cannot hold on
With one leap you are gone.
It’s to swim in dark waters
You’re craving.
As you waved from the window
The wheels started turning,
Wheels of a Stanstead-bound train.
When air turns to water,
Then you’re in your element.
Kick off your high heels and dance
Like a frog in the rain
Like a frog in the rain
Like a frog in the rain.
