The Divine Comedy - Geronimo lyrics

While they have been eating the
Rain has started falling
Gradually gathering in strength what
Began a drizzle
Has now become torrential and doesn't look
Like coming to an end
The two bedraggled figures that
Huddle in the doorway
With nothing vaguely waterproof to wear
Are now secretly wishing
They'd listened to their mothers when being
Told to always be prepared
Screaming "Geronimo!" they run for it
Down the road with an arm around her waist
He leads her to a place he knows

Soaked through
But happy they squelch up to the landing
The room before them makes a welcome sight
The coal fire is throwing strange
Shapes upon the hearth rug
And crying out to be knelt down beside
She pulls off her jumper and
Flings it in the corner
He picks it up and hangs it on a chair
She puts on a record and
Sings into her coffee
He puts a blanket round her
Sit's her down and dries her beautiful hair
