      Alas, in 1978 you were just alive you couldn’t stipulate that you were glad to be alive in 1970 because you were a kid and not really thinking in that way. You were just alive mate that was it nothing special.

    Dede-dedede
    It's raining, raining down on me, yeah (uh-uh-uh)
    I'm drowning, I'm drowning in misery, yeah (uh-uh-uh)
    I'm thinking that now I'm alone (uh-uh-uh)
    I just want to be going home (uh-uh-uh)
    I wish you were by me to hold me (dede-dum-dede)
    And help me pull through
    Girl, I'm crying, crying out to you (uh-uh-uh)
    And I'm hoping, hoping I'm getting through (uh-uh-uh)
    I've never been feeling so low (uh-uh-uh)
    But I can't let my pain ever show (uh-uh-uh)
    But from your eyes (uh-uh)
    I have to hide these feelings inside (uh-uh-uh-oh)
    That's why I'm crying
    Tadada-tadada-tadada
    Tadada-tada-tada-ohah
    That's why I'm saying
    It's raining, I'm crying, I'm sinking, I'm dying
    It's raining, I'm crying, I'm sinking, I'm dying
    Oh, I'm sinking, I'm sinking in the crowd (dede-dum-dede)
    Sinking in the crowd (dede-dum-dede)
    I'm praying (dede-dum-dede)
    I'm praying out loud (dede-dum-dede)
    I'm praying out loud
    Will this ache in my soul ever cease?
    Ache in my soul ever cease
    Can I sleep and find myself some peace
    Find myself some peace
    Outside I play cool
    But inside I'm hurting for you
    (Uh, mamama) Oh, darlin'
    Outside I play cool
    But inside I'm hurting for you
    Oh-oh-oh, oh, little darling (dede-dum-dede)
    I'm dying inside (dede-dum-dede)
    Oh, I'm thinking about you, yeah (dede-dum-dede)
    My my my my my my my my, little girl (dede-dum-dede)
    Uhh
    I want you by my side

    Amazing Darts. Saw them in Gt Yarmouth (Tiffany's Ballroom) in 1978. They had had a hit with "Daddy Cool" and were touring to promote their follow-up single "Come Back My Love".
    Griff wrote "Sometime Lately" which is a fab R+R Ballad. Should be a standard.
    Had they been around 20 years sooner they would have been worldwide stars I think. Certainly up there with Dion and the Belmonts..

    I've always like do-wap,and I enjoyed this when it came out, but over almost five decades later, seeing and hearing his again has made me aware that I'd been unaware of how slick and polished a vocal and instrumental act they actually were-especially when compared to the shit acts that made it big in the early to mid 70s.
