Don't slam the door on your way out Don't leave without saying goodbye Another long distance night alone You leave me wanting, always leave me wanting more Last word today, coming home to stay? Wouldn't that be nice, for awhile?
But now my take-out food is growing cold And the candle's burned a hole in the floor And I'm still waiting for the ring of the phone
I'm all alone And it's another rainy night, without you Guess I'll leave the light on for you It's just another rainy night without you
Listen, there's a foghorn blowing from the coast tornight Remember making love in the rain? Strange how laughter looks like crying with no sound Raindrops taste like tears, without the pain I'm not much without you, can't leave if I wanted to Maybe that's why you stay around
But tonight I'll sit here tending the fire and pace the floor one hundred times in an hour And check the voice-mail for a message you've called
Waiting by the phone, alone And it's another rainy night without you
Hate the sound of the closing door And your footseps walking away
But now my takeout food is growing cold and the candle's burned a hole in the floor and I'm still waiting for the ring of the phone
