Lyric

An empty glass without the ice

Shows lonely eyes, I can’t disguise

The ticking seconds softly say

I’ll find my strength again someday

Rain begins to fall outside

Milk swirls in my café latte

Mix it slowly, sigh escapes

“I miss you” now I want to say

Can’t leave a word on your machine

Rain falls on this quiet street

Pager ringing, soft and low

Telling you my love, I let it show

Standing here in the rain alone

“I love you” sent through the telephone

After school when rain has passed

Smiling back at me from the glass

Birds are flying in the sky

Cheering for my heart tonight

Raindrops tapping on my umbrella

Milk dissolves in bitter coffee

And as the clouds begin to fade

My heart is pounding endlessly

This time I said “I want to see you”

Waiting in a café seat for two

Pager beeping happily

“On my way, just wait for me”

But even when the time has come

You’re not here, I’m all alone

Fearful fingers dial again

Please don’t break my heart tonight

“Sorry, I can’t come after all”

Tears fall quietly out of sight

Couldn’t leave a single word

Cry alone beneath the rain

Pager buzzing soft and clear

“I’m coming now” to chase my pain

I stretched my arms and held you tight

Whispered “Don’t you dare”

Then kissed you through the night
