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
