Waterdeep – One Night Out In The Rain lyrics

She had set herself against him
before he'd even stepped in the door
She had examined all the evidence
and this had happened more than once before

He came in tired from the working day
weary from the working atmosphere
When he fell back into the couch
He wished he could just disappear

So he avoided her like he had been
lately in his mind
He though her anger was relentless
and she never just let him unwind. He said

You tell me my life's a prison
I tell you yours is a pit
That seems so hopeless, babe
how can we work with it?
We're both trapped
We both need
We're locked up
and we want to be freed

They were searching for a reason
they should continue on in this
They'd given up all hope of romance now
They just wanted to coexist

Oh but lately even this was getting harder
For the two of them to maintain
And when the darkness seemed to close in
she'd often go out walking in the rain

One night she heard something saving
in the way the wind mingled with her hair
She ran home to tell him of the hope she'd found
in the midst of their despair. She said

Now you tell me my life's a prison
I tell you yours is a pit
So let's agree on that and just get on with it
We're both trapped
We both need
We're locked up
and we want to be freed
We tell lies
to our own heart
then we're so surprised
We're so torn apart

We need God
We need a higher hand
We need something far, far, far above this broken land
We need God.
