(Warren Zevon)

Once upon a time these stories always start

There lived a handsome prince and he had a happy heart

And a princess, too--she was a beautiful kid

She said she'd never leave him but she did



Sometimes love is wet and cold

Similar to rain, just a hard to hold

Love can make you sad and blue

If you don't watch out it'll fall all over you



Everybody knows that winter can be nice

You can play in the snow, you can skate on the ice

But you can't skate far when the ice gets thin

'Cause you might fall in



Sometimes love is wet and cold

Similar to rain, just as hard to hold

Love can make you sad and blue

If you don't watch out it'll fall all over you



Gray skies everywhere

Storm clouds know your name

Sadness in the air

Feels like rain



Sometimes love is wet and cold

Similar to rain, just a hard to hold

Love can make you sad and blue

If you don't watch out it'll fall all over you
