{Verse 1}
I set up shop on Catharine Street
The rain it pours, it soaks my feet
And when it snows, no one can see
It melts like tears upon my cheeks
{Verse 2}
Your holy words, your helpless eyes
I'll hold you back you'll take my life
So when I'm gone, don't be surprised
I've got a plan, I'm doing fine
{Chorus}
Take care to meet yourself if you have to go away
It’s a necessary evil, it is hidden in the sham
You can find me there in the back of the train
I’ve been writing you this letter
Since the day I saw the rain
Coming down, down on Catharine Street
{Verse 3}
The snow and ice crack underfoot
We make our way past lamplight crooks
The wind it blew then, but nothing shook
The night my motive finally took
{Chorus}
Take care to meet yourself if you have to go away
It’s a necessary evil, it is hidden in the sham
You can find me there in the back of the train
I’ve been writing you this letter
Since the day I saw the rain
Coming down, down on Catharine Street
{Chorus}
Take care to meet yourself if you have to go away
It’s a necessary evil, it is hidden in the sham
You can find me there in the back of the train
I’ve been writing you this letter
Since the day I saw the rain
Coming down, down on Catharine Street
