Lyrics

Here's that rainy day
That you said was bound to come
Funny—now you took my hat
I can still feel it like it's on;
O baby I wonder how
You ever learned to play so rough
You left me with everything
Knowing it would never be enough

Now I remember—you told me so
You're so rough and tumble, and now I know

I had a dream of you
And i'll tell you what I can
Your face was a brilliant mask
--It came off in my hand;
O baby I wonder how
You ever learned to play so rough
You left me with everything
Knowing it would never be enough

Now I remember—

I take my coffee now
At the window by the stove
The afternoon is dark
As the shadows grow;
O baby I wonder how
You ever got so tough
To leave me with everything
Knowing it would never be enough

Now I remember--
