Pray For Rain

It's the 13th of November

And I cross another day off the calendar

That hangs there by the door

A silent witness to the lonely life

That I have made

Where every passing hour

Is just like the one before

When love is new it shines

Like sparkling diamonds

In the sun, like morning dew

Upon the leaves of gold

But if it is neglected it will slowly fade away

And leave you there with nothing but a heart

That's sad and cold

I know that you are gone

Because of things I didn't do

You left because of things I didn't say

The nights are getting longer

And there's no one else to blame

For sending all my bridges up in flames

There's nothing left to do but pray for rain

At first I didn't realize just how far

We'd grown apart, our sunny skies

Reduced to shades of gray

I thought that I was falling

Out of love with you

And so, I heard but didn't listen to

The things you had to say

But no man is an island,

Or so the saying goes,

And a house that has no love is not a home

Life without you has got to be

The hardest thing I've done,

And if you can forgive me

We won't have to be alone

I know that you are gone

Because of things I didn't do

You left because of things I didn't say

The nights are getting longer

And there's no one else to blame

For sending all my bridges up in flames

There's nothing left to do but pray for rain

The nights are getting longer

And there's no one else to blame

Nothing left to do but pray for rain
