Rice Drewry: Music

• MP3 short clip, hi-fi play (broadband)
• MP3 short clip, lo-fi play (modem)

You tried to tell me ... just how you feel
You said you needed someone when the truth be done and no secrets to conceal
Said you been lonely long enough
But I didn’t listen

A lot of friends told me ... or so they tried
That a love can slip from a steely grip without some .......compromise
And now their meaning is clarified
I didn’t listen

CHORUS 1
I could hear the rain tapping on the window
With a siren screaming past
I could hear the neighbors on the floor above
With the music on full blast
I could hear you whispering in my ear
And I thought our love would last....

There were times I heard you cryin’
Guess I didn’t try to realize
that deep inside you were dyin’
You were really sayin’ “help me deal”
But I didn’t listen

CHORUS 1 / BRIDGE

Empty bottles, one by one
Gather on the shelf since the day you left and watch me come undone
They never helped me ease the pain
I didn’t listen

CHORUS 2
I heard the train rolling down the tracks
I heard the jet soar cross the sky
I heard you say you weren’t comin back
Didn’t think to wonder why
I felt a tear rolling down my face
When you told me goodby
I didn’t listen
