She showed up on my doorstep, with teardrops in her eyes,
She said that she'd been lonely, and she'd like to stay the night.
I said, "This is the third time, that you've created such a scene."
But I can't close the door on my fair-weather queen.
Cause when the sun is out she is always there,
And when the grass is green she is dancing on air,
When my pockets are full, she is my everything,
But when it rains she is the first to leave,
When it rains she is my Fairweather Queen.
She emptied out her pockets, the air was stained with lent and ash,
I knew she'd had her last dance before she thought about coming back,
Well, I see a storm a brewin', the wind is blowing from the east,
You got to take the rain with the sunshine, And if you can't...
You've got to leave.
Cause when the sun is out she is always there,
And when the grass is green she is dancing on air,
When my pockets are full, she is my everything,
But when I'm broke she is the first to leave,
When I'm broke she is my fair-weather queen.
And who's to say if she will be there,
When that wind comes tearing through,
I don't care, no I have said my peace,
And in the end, that's all a man can do...
When your Fairweather Queen comes to you.
