lyrics

I listen to the rain outside
The world’s asleep now but I’m alive
Sometimes you’ve got to take what you can get

True to life outside it’s pouring down
So many freaks buzzing round this town
Make me feel normal, remind me not to give up yet

I should’ve guessed
You’d take my heart and leave the rest
Give it back another time
We can leave this all behind

Back roads we travel all the time
With aching backs and weary minds
I know somehow they all led us here

So like the summer rain you came and then were gone
Like a star you burst and then you shone
Someone help me get away from here

I should’ve guessed
You’d take my heart and leave the rest
Give it back another time
We can leave this all behind
Write me back another day
If you’ve got something left to say
Raindrops falling in the dark
I should’ve guessed right from the start

If you’ve got the time of day
Tell me that you’re doing OK baby
Been around for a week or two
Your conversation’s overdue baby, yeah

Finding ways to pass the time
How come days off are never fine?
The morning too short, the evening’s getting too long now

So as another night draws to an end
I try to sleep but I only pretend
Lying here the raindrops are the only sound

I should’ve guessed
You’d take my heart and leave the rest
Give it back another time
We can leave this all behind
Write me back another day
If you’ve got something left to say
Raindrops falling in the dark
I should’ve guessed right from the start

The Wynntown Marshals Edinburgh, UK

Formed in Edinburgh in 2007, The Marshals tip their hat to The Jayhawks, Wilco, Drive-By Truckers, Tom Petty, Ryan Adams & Neil Young.

Their sound can loosely be described as ‘country rock' with powerpop hooks, but they love layered guitars, catchy choruses and have an unabashed belief in the power of rock music as a storytelling medium. ... more
