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
