CAN'T TELL MY TEARS FROM THE RAIN

CAN'T TELL MY TEARS FROM THE RAIN

WRITTEN BY JEFF R HILTON

MISTY RAIN

FALLING ON THE NIGHT

THROUGH THE STREETLIGHT

I STAND AND WATCH

ALONE AND EMPTY 

LIKE A DRUM

FEELING LIKE I'M DONE

ONCE AGAIN I LOSE

NO WAY DOWN

THE ROAD I CHOOSE

I NEVER SEEM TO LEARN

I NEVER SEEM SEEM TO CARE

EVEN IF I DO, I CAN'T WIN

HOW CAN I BE REAL

THE STORM INSIDE I FEEL

NEVER SEEMS TO END

MAYBE I SHOULD BE ALONE

MY HEARTS THERE

BUT MY HEAD ISN'T HOME

I'VE ALL BUT GIVEN UP

ON EVER FINDING MY WAY

TO A TIME THAT

I DON'T HAVE TO PAY

FOR EVERY MISTAKE 

I NEED THAT KIND OF BREAK

TO MOVE AHEAD

MAKE ALL THE RIGHT CHOICES

FINISH FIRST INSTEAD

MAYBE I WOULDN'T BE HERE

IN THE RAIN

MORE OF ANYTHING

OTHER THAN THE SAME

HOW MUCH TIME 

COULD THERE BE

STANDING HERE IN THE STREET

I WONDER

SILENCE CAN'T TELL MY TEARS

FROM THE RAIN

WISHING MY LIFE WOULD CHANGE

BUT ALAS ITS JUST ME

DID I GET TOO DEEP

THAT I CAN'T SEE

THE WAY THINGS REALLY ARE

THE WAY THEY SHOULD BE

MIDNIGHT COMES AND GOES

THE RAIN STOPS

THE WIND STILL BLOWS

FEELING LIKE THIS EMPTY STREET

WHAT ELSE IS NEW

I'M WONDERING

 COULD THIS BE NEAR THE END

WILL TOMORROW BREAK OR BEND

JUST A LITTLE

ENOUGH TO BUY SOME TIME
