Another Rainy Night (Without You)

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 you're coming home to stay?
Wouldn't that be nice for a while?

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 it's another rainy night without you,
Guess I'll leave the light on for you,
It's just another rainy night without you.

There's a fog horn blowing on the coast tonight,
Remember making love in the rain?
Strange how laughter looks like crying with no sound,
Rain drops taste like tears without the pain.

I'm nothing much without you,
I 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 a hundred times in an hour,
And I'll check the voice mail for a message you've called.

"You have no new messages in your mail box."

I'm all alone it's another rainy night without you,
Waiting by the phone it's another rainy night without you,
Guess I'll leave the light on for you.

I know I've said it before,
I hate the sound of a closing door,
And your footsteps walking away.

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 it's another rainy night without you,
Waiting by the phone it's another rainy night without you,
Guess I'll leave the light on for you,
It's just another rainy night without you!
