(Chris DeGarmo/Eddie Jackson/Geoff Tate)
    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
    CHORUS
  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 tornight
  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
    CHORUS
    Waiting by the phone, alone
  And it's another rainy night without you
    Hate the sound of the closing door
  And your footseps walking away
    But now my takeout 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
    CHORUS
