The words came like a hard rain
And your smile changed like a hurricane
Your breath smells like cardamom
And the words came just like a hard rain

I recall you said you missed me
I was afraid I acted desperately
I recall you said it for hours
Then again it doesn't matter

I never tried, I never dared, I wish I'd said something
But I've been standing outside your door
At least that's something
Your breath smells like cardamom
And the words came just like a hard rain

I try to tell myself at night
When the dusty old pictures are all out of sight
That I think I will be alright
Just don't come closer morning light
