"Pray For Rain" Lyrics

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
