A Thousand Nights of Rain

Words by Dave Maswick, Steve Newton and Michael Jerling

Listen to the mp3

I had to know
Where we went wrong
When I asked
You wouldn't say

"Give it up, give it up, please, Baby give it up"
When I spoke
You looked away

Driving home in silence
From a party
Turning toward the wall
When we lay down

Staring in the dark
While we lay sleeping
Together in the night
Yet both alone

Now I'm as empty as the sound
Of a leaf that settles softly to the ground
When a thousand nights of rain come pouring down

I don't know how
And I don't know when
We arrived at this address
Broken-hearts for everyone
Tear-stains on your dress

How did we become
These silent strangers
Turning from a touch
To pull away

Living in a house
Of empty hallways
Afraid to tell the truth
Or run away

Now I'm as empty as the sound
Of a leaf that settles softly to the ground
When a thousand nights of rain come pouring down

Now I'm as empty as the sound
When a thousand nights of rain come pouring down
When a thousand nights of rain come pouring down
When a thousand nights of rain come pouring down
