I feel her weight upon my pine
The rain is crossing every line
Her coffee cup is cold and gray
The summer heat has gone away
She breaks like glass upon the wood
I'd stop the storm here if I could
The water washes out the stain
The heavy rhythm of the rain
She wears a dress of faded white
The thunder rolls into the night
Her apron strings are tied too tight
She shivers in the sudden light
She breaks like glass upon the wood
I'd stop the storm here if I could
The water washes out the stain
The heavy rhythm of the rain
She tells the wind a secret name
The thunder plays a cruel game
Her shaking hands are pale and thin
The cold air lets the winter in
Low gear, slow cruise, the road is black
There ain't no way of turning back
A heavy load is hard to steer
The ending of the line is near
The porch is soaked in salty dew
The gray clouds hide a deeper blue
She leans her head against the post
A tired girl, a lonely ghost
She breaks like glass upon the wood
I'd stop the storm here if I could
The water washes out the stain
The heavy rhythm of the rain
The diner clock is ticking fast
The midnight hour will not last
She lets the water take the lead
A broken soul, a desperate need
She breaks like glass upon the wood
I'd stop the storm here if I could
The water washes out the stain
The heavy rhythm of the rain
Just another fare in the rain
Just another ride in the rain
