Listen to the rain on this mountain town
   Listen to the night bird's lonesome cry
   listen to the scratch of pen on paper
   That's the sound of sleep denied.
  
   Hear the sleepers toss and turn
   Dreaming whatever they're dreaming of
   The wind that's clearing the heat from the air
   Can't clear my heart of these pangs of love.
  
   Pangs of love
   That's the price you pay
   When you give your love
   But don't give all the way
   Pangs of love
   Won't let me go --
   I came so far around the world
   To hear the night say
   I told you so.
