Lyrics Ray Price – We Can’t Build A Fire In The Rain

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

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
