[Verse 1]
The nearer we got to Andorra, the sun set on the left
The more the mountains pointed to the black clouds in the West
Hey, there's a darkness, turned the sky, that's not the night
Hey, there's a rain cloud there that's shutting out the light

[Chorus]
What do I tell you? It's always the same
When you run for the sun you catch the rain

[Verse 2]
As soon as we reached Barcelona, a cold wind touched the beach
The sun we'd left in London was way beyond our reach
"Hey", I said, "Darling, it seems a waste of time
Hey, all we do is sit and drink our Spanish wine"

[Chorus]
What do I tell you? It's always the same
When you run for the sun you catch the rain

[Bridge]
In all of the tales of Granada they tell of Islams' run
They lived beneath a Moorish Lord, beneath the Moorish sun
Oh, how we yearned to turn our faces to that glare
But down from the mountains came the rain to soak our hair
[Chorus]
What do I tell you? It's always the same
When you run for the sun you catch the rain
What do I tell you? It's always the same
When you run for the sun you catch the rain
