I pull the curtains tight tonight
And let the rain come down
The daylight softens into night
Here in this distant town
Everything I used to be
No longer is a part of me
I pull the curtains tight tonight
And let the rain come down
The moment that we said good-bye
I knew it was our last
Together we’re an empty space
Filled with the things we lack
And I don’t know where to begin
To heal a war I cannot win
I pull the curtains tight tonight
And let the rain come down
And it will fall, a flood of tears
A burst of clouds that will not clear
It pounds against my windowsill
It beats the heart and breaks the will
I pull the curtains tight tonight
And let the darkness in
There’s comfort in a stranger’s eyes
Tonight I let him in
And all I know I soon forget
Tears of relief, tears of regret
I pull the curtains tight tonight
And let the rain come down
Softly now, this rain won’t disappear
Like the clouds inside my heart
It will never clear
But even now I feel you close to me
Your breathing in and breathing out
Like life itself
I pull the curtains tight tonight
And let the rain come down
The daylight softens into night
Here in this distant town
And everything I used to be
No longer is a part of me
I pull the curtains tight tonight
And let the rain come down
