This Has Happened Before

Last night's old anger this morning made me cry

But the rain like an old friend came by to change my mind

The wind knows no secrets but like it knew what was in store

Reminds me oh so kindly this has happened before

Been waiting at my window, I thought I heard your name

But the quiet of the evening was teasing me again

It's not too late for talking but I'm afraid to ask for more

And the wind recalls that, after all, this has happened before

And all of your memories seem to be laughing at my pain

Trying not to listen is like talking to the rain

A love like a candle can't take me through the storm

It's bright enough to burn me but too weak to keep me warm

I find my explanations when I won't need them anymore

But me and my old friends know this has happened before

But me and the wind know this has happened before
