{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
