(Carlene Carter/Bernie Taupin) How long Has it been dear Since we felt the rain Endless were our summers Until the weather changed Our love was lifted like a harvest No winter in your eyes Now cold winds cut Right through us And so the harvest dies Stranded and lost without you My pain lives in this house It's like your heart here Empty and cold dear My wild birds flying south I know that you can hear me Crying Where did I Go wrong What brought this storm Into your heart After loving me so long Someday Maybe you'll blame All this on the rain But until then Love's the one thing I'll never feel again And after all my tears have Drowned me And nothing else Remains I'll be one step short of heaven Seeking shelter from the rain Someday Maybe you'll blame All this on the rain But until then Love's the one thing I'll never feel again
