You were right as rain,
But still it hurts the same
And ever since you left my heart has kept
The time with feverish pace
And now my tired eyes watch the empty skies
To see if something has changed

You can search my heart
If you can search the dark
But I'm afraid that I've been anesthetized
by a host of everyday pains
And if these little lies close my heavy eyes
I'm afraid that I won't awake

Did you feel Time ticking away?
Did you see light flicker and fade?
And now you lie awake,
And you were right as rain,
My love.

You're the rightaway
Always, but not today
And all this lingering will be the death of me,
The last word in my great escape
Cause when the fire dies, the ashes sing,
"We were saved for love's sake."
