Written by: Patti Scialfa



The night is falling

Under the vesper bells lonely chime

And I ain't nobody's valentine

But I ain't sorry for wanting the things

That you cannot give

And if you want me to walk away

Give me something I can walk away with

Talk to me like the rain baby

Talk to me like the rain

And I will lie here and listen



All of those promises

They're held like tender dreams

Inside our hands and they're all

Just waiting there for our command

Now I don't want to talk to no one darlin'

I don't want the sun to shine

I'll just lie inside this darkness baby

Until you are mine

Talk to me like the rain baby

Talk to me like the rain

And I will lie here and listen



Yesterdays empires they are all vanishing

And without you those new worlds darlin'

They don't mean a thing

Talk to me like the rain baby

Talk to me like the rain

Talk to me like the rain darlin'

Talk to me like the rain

And I will lie here and listen
