Irene

A weather vane brought wind and 
Rain, a New York city 

Hurricane, so glad you came, my weather 
Man, he warned of broken hearts and 
Broken window 
Panes. 

Don't hide under your umbrella,
Put your raincoat on and prepare for stormy weather. 
You said you'd wait for me, with your heart out on your sleeve, 
And don't you cry no more for me, Irene. 
Don't you cry no more for me Irene. 

A year before we closed the 
Door, I felt the rain a little more. 

Your sister Sandy, held my 
Hand and then she left me in the 
Rain, in the rain! 
Another hurricane! 

Don't hide under your umbrella, just 
Put your raincoat on and prepare for stormy weather. 
You said you'd wait for me, with your heart out on your sleeve, 
Don't you cry no more for me Irene.

Don't cry the hurricane is over, 
But it's been raining here, since the 13th October. 
Don't you wash me away, 
Black raindrops on the newspaper page. 

Don't cry, don't cry, don't you cry no more for me. 
Don't cry for me Irene 
Don't you cry no more for me Irene. 

This is the story of the first, 
This is the chorus and the verse.

This is a story of the past, 
This is the story of the last 
Last time I stood out in the 
Rain 

Don't hide under your umbrella, just 
Put your raincoat on and prepare for stormy weather. 
You said you'd wait for me, with your heart out on your sleeve, 
And don't you cry no more for me, Irene. 
Don't you cry no more for me Irene.
