I hear the rain come down
Stepped outside and opened up my mouth
I've tried my best to leave this lonely Piedmont town
Where I hear the rain come down

Some things never wash away
Sink into your fingertips and stain
Oh, I wanna take you with me
But it's better if you stay
Those things I never wash away

I will fall into your open arms tonight
I will whisper in your ear and everything will be alright
I will count the hours and I'll hope you'll understand
That I will do the best I can
To get out while I still can

No flame can heat this old house
Candle falls, the flame burns out
Can you step into my heart in time to cast these demons out?
'Cause no flame will heat this old house

I will fall into your open arms tonight
I will whisper in your ear and everything will be alright
I will count the hours and I'll hope you'll understand
That I will do the best I can
To get out while I still can

Get out while you can
Get out while you can
Get out while you can
Oh, get out while you can
Won't you get out while you can
Oh, get out while you can
I hear the rain come down
