The cafés are all deserted, the streets are wet again,
There's nothing quite like an out of season
holiday town in the rain,
When the tourists go and the cold winds blow,
And my girl is on a plane, home...

I'm never gonna love another,
the way that I have loved you,
It's taken me a little time to discover it,
Now I know it's [bad word]  but fatal hesitation,
Made me miss the show,

Oh Romeo is standing in the rain,
And I know that I have let her slip away,
Fatal hesitation, fatal hesitation...

I saw you again this morning, walking down the beach,
And though you are a thousand miles away,
You were only just out of reach, but when I got up close,
And I saw her face, I knew it couldn't be so, no, no...

Oh Romeo is standing in the rain,
And I, yes I know, I have let her slip away,
Fatal hesitation, fatal hesitation,
I'm going to get on my boat and sail away;

Oh Romeo is standing in the rain,
And I know, I have let her slip away,
Fatal hesitation, fatal hesitation,
Fatal hesitation, oh Romeo is standing in the rain,
Fatal hesitation, yes I know, I have let her slip away;

I'm gonna read a little Shakespeare,
And get her out of my head,
It doesn't matter any more;
I'm gonna miss her just a little bit,
Just a little bit...
