Ray Price - We Can't Build A Fire In The Rain lyrics

With these few words I'll leave behind you'll never know what I feel inside This letter wasn't meant unkind but I could 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 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 never let each other be alone again But lately we've been more alone together than our lonely days have ever been A midnight whistle's blowing and it's time I was headin' down the road The pain inside is growing the time someday will 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 live 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
