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.
