Move closer, set my mind on fire   Taking over, the world seems so alive   The world seems so alive   She slips into the night, and she is gone   Gone to settle the score, gone into the town   Rain shining in her eyes   Her brother started school   Again today, a thought to pass the time   To occupy my mind, while I'm waiting for her   Down in the basement, listening to the rain   Thinking things over. I think it over again   I think it over again   She slips into the night, and she was gone   Gone to settle the score, gone into the town   Rain shining in her eyes   Her brother started school   Again today, a thought to pass the time   To occupy my mind, while I'm waiting for her   I'm riding it down, listen to the rain   She'll be here soon, I lie back and drift away   I lie back and drift away.   She slips into the night, and she was gone   Gone to settle the score, gone into the town   Rain shining in her eyes   Her brother started school   Again today, a thought to pass the time   To occupy my mind, while I'm waiting for her   I'm feeling so alive, feeling so real   On a stormy night, the rain is coming down   Rain like never before   I've got some records on, some bottles of wine   On a stormy night, the rain is lashing down   And I'm waiting for her
