And though you are a thousand miles away
Oh, Romeo is standing in the rain
It's taken me a little time to discover it
Fatal hesitation, fatal hesitation
It doesn't matter any more
You were only just out of reach, but when I got up close
And I, yes, I know, I have let her slip away
Fatal hesitation, fatal hesitation
Fatal hesitation, fatal hesitation
And I, I know, I have let her slip away
Made me miss the show
I'm going to get on my boat and sail away
I'm going to miss her just a little bit
Oh, Romeo is standing in the rain
I saw you again this morning, walking down the beach
Oh, Romeo is standing in the rain
Now, I know it's true but fatal hesitation
Fatal hesitation, fatal hesitation
And get her out of my head
And my girl is on a plane, home
When the tourists go and the cold winds blow
And I saw her face, I knew it couldn't be so, no, no
I'm never going to love another, the way that I have loved you
I'm going to read a little Shakespeare
And I know that I have let her slip away
