I went down to St. James Infirmary
To see my baby there
She was lying on a cold dark table
So sweet, so still, so fair

Let her go, let her go, god help her
Wherever she may be
They can search the wide world over
But they’ll never find a man like me
When she left, I went down to the river
Though the cold, dead trees
There I stood, in the murk and the darkness
There I sold my soul to thee

Looks like the rain has come back againLooks like that grey sky has settled inFeels like the winds turned against my sailLooks like the rain comes cos’ you’re not here.
Oh sweet beloved, where have you gone?I wish I knew where I’d gone wrong.
I would be there in the blink of an eyeWith you somewhere other thanThis dark grey sky.
Looks like the rain has rolled in once moreSeems I’m alone standing on an empty floorSeems like the world’s gone monochromeLooks like the rain comes when I’m alone.
Oh sweet beloved.
