  • Don't slam the door on your way out
    Don't leave without saying goodbye
    Another long distance night alone
    You leave me wanting, always leave me wanting more
    Last word today, coming home to stay?
    Wouldn't that be nice, for awhile?

    But now my take-out food is growing cold
    And the candle's burned a hole in the floor
    And I'm still waiting for the ring of the phone

    I'm all alone
    And it's another rainy night, without you
    Guess I'll leave the light on for you
    It's just another rainy night without you

    Listen, there's a foghorn blowing from the coast tonight
    Remember making love in the rain?
    Strange how laughter looks like crying with no sound
    Raindrops taste like tears, without the pain
    I'm not much without you, can't leave if I wanted to
    Maybe that's why you stay around

    But tonight I'll sit here tending the fire
    And pace the floor one hundred times in an hour
    And check the voice-mail for a message you've called

    I'm all alone
    It's just another rainy night, without you
    Waiting by the phone alone
    It's just another rainy night, without you
    Guess I'll leave a light on for you

    I know I've said it before
    Hate the sound of the closing door
    And your footsteps walking away

    But now my take-out food is growing cold,
    And the candle's burned a hole in the floor
    And I'm still waiting for the ring of the phone
    I'm all alone
    It's just another rainy night, without you
    Waiting by the phone alone
    And it's another rainy night, without you
    Guess I'll leave a light on for you

    It's just another rainy night, it's just another rainy night,
    It's just another rainy night without you Writer/s: CHRIS DEGARMO, EDDIE JACKSON, GEOFF TATE
