 Rainy Night In Soho



 *********************



 (S. MacGowan) 



 



 



 



 I've been loving you a long time



 Down all the years, down all the days



 And I've cried for all your troubles



 Smiled at your funny little ways



 



 



 We watched our friends grow up together



 And we saw them as they fell



 Some of them fell into heaven



 And some of them fell into hell



 



 



 I took shelter from a shower



 And I stepped into your arms



 On a rainy night in Soho



 The wind was whistling all its charms



 



 



 I sang you all my sorrows



 And you told me all your joys



 Whatever happened to that old song



 To all those little girls and boys



 Those little girls and boys



 



 



 Now the song is nearly over



 We may never find out what it means



 But there's a light I hold before me



 And you're the measure of my dreams



 The measure of my dreams



 



 



 These last two verses are not sung by Nick, but are part of the original song
as written by Shane MacGowan: 



 



 Sometimes I wake up in the morning



 The gingerlady by my bed



 Covered in a cloak of silence



 I hear you in my head



 



 



 I'm not singing for the future



 I'm not dreaming of the past



 I'm not talking of the fist time



 I never think about the last



 



 



 Now the song is nearly over



 We may never find out what it means



 Still there's a light I hold before me



 You're the measure of my dreams



 The measure of my dreams
