Colin Buchanan - When It Rained lyrics

He moved away to college And he made some city friends Who'd only seen in picture books What he'd done on the land And the lazy small-town goings-on Seemed to lose their glow But once it's in your heart, boy It'll never let you go. And when it rained He thought of home He talked of how the Farm was going To his father on the phone He should've learnt He should've known Whatever's in your heart, boy Will never let you go She was city born and city bred And she had a city smile And she swept him off his Blundstone boots With her Sydney North Shore style He followed her to Manly Beach He really should have known She was a city girl at heart And it would never let her go And when it rained He thought of home He talked of how the Farm was going To his father on the phone He should've learnt He should've known Whatever's in your heart, boy Will never let you go The romance didn't last long The whole thing fell apart The city life had chewed him up And cut him to the heart He wound the old Cortina up And headed it for home Coz it was in his heart And he just couldn't let it go
