There's a storm blowing in across the fields Rattling these old windows and old doors The air feels heavy coming through the screens The way it always does before it pours The rain is coming down tapping out a lullaby In some sad familiar rhythm on the roof I can tell you're leaving me long before you've gone The distance in your eyes provides the proof So baby when you leave please don't let me know Just slip into your clothes there on the floor Don't wake me up for another long goodbye Just turn out the hallway light and lock the door Oh baby when you leave just let me lying here And maybe if I try hard to believe That if I don't see you go then you won't be really gone And I won't really miss you... When you leave Streaks of brilliant gold across a crooked sky Illuminating pictures on the wall All our photographs reduced to souvenirs Whose stories now don't matter much at all The thunder's drumming out the beating of a restless heart Shades of night are shifting with the dawn And as storm clouds disappear beyond the distant hills I know the sun is coming soon and you'll be gone. So baby when you leave please let me know Just slip into your clothes there on the floor Don't wake me up for another long goodbye Just turn out the hallway light and lock the door Oh baby when you leave just let me lying here And maybe if I try hard to believe That if I don't see you go then you won't be really gone And I won't really miss you... When you leave {Bridge} When you leave don't turn around Just let the final curtain fade to black And you'll still believe that I'll be waiting here And I'll still believe that you're coming back. Repeat Chorus and Fade
