Roy Clark - We Can't Build A Fire In The Rain lyrics

Your rating:

With these few words I'll leave behind 
You'll never know what I feel inside
This letter wasn't meant unkind 
But I can never stand to see you cry

It's written in the stars somewhere 
That we were never meant to be together
We neither one to blame
Heaven knows how hard we tried 
But we can't build a fire in the rain

There was a time our love was strong 
But then one day it crumbled out of sight
We tried to put the pieces back together 
But we never got it right

We're drinking from an empty cup 
Just going through the motions and pretending
We have something left to gain
And though we didn't drink our fill 
We can't build a fire in the rain

We came together with a promise 
We would never let each other be alone again
But lately we've been more alone together 
Than our lonely days have ever been

That midnight whistle's blowing 
And it's time that I'd be heading down the road
The pain inside is growing 
The time will someday bear its heavy load

It's raining hard as I have known 
And though it's hard to face alone
It's a simple price for two lives lived in vain
The sun is shining bright somewhere 
But we can't build a fire in the rain
The sun is shining bright somewhere 
But we can't build a fire in the rain
