I should go back before I go too far But I know myself enough to know That I'll probably stay right here While the storm clouds grow near And wait a little later than I should And I'll think about you then While I stumble home again And I'll have time to remember who's to blame 'Cause it's a longer walk in the rain It's a longer walk in the rain Another night is done And you barely cross my mind As I watch the clock tick from ten to two Now the thunder's rollin' in And I can feel it in the wind There's no way to stop this coming down And I'll think about you then While I stumble home again And I'll have time to remember who's to blame 'Cause it's a longer walk in the rain It's a longer walk in the rain Will the porch light be left on Or will she just be gone Lord, I wonder if she wonders where I've been I've gotta stop this runnin' 'round Before it's too late to settle down But I bet I'll say the same thing again And I'll think about you then While I stumble home again And I'll have time to remember who's to blame 'Cause it's a longer walk in the rain It's a longer walk in the rain
