Lyrics

[Verse 1]

I keep a chair by the window

like you might still come home

Your boots by the door

dust on the bone

Now Maria's got the phone in her hand

and she can't stop shaking

Another name in the dark

another heart breaking

[Pre-Chorus]

I know that look too well

I know that ground that fell

When the world won't tell you why

and you just have to survive

[Chorus]

Oh, I know that road

I know that rain

I know the way it hollows

right through your name

I want to hold you close

and take your pain

Oh, I know that road

I know that rain

(I know that rain)

[Verse 2]

Tasha sits on her porch steps

with a baby blanket folded

Her eyes say the words

her mouth can't hold them

I bring soup, I bring flowers

I bring a hand on her shoulder

But grief don't ask for visitors

it just sits there colder

[Pre-Chorus]

I know that look too well

I know that ground that fell

When the world won't tell you why

and you just have to survive

[Chorus]

Oh, I know that road

I know that rain

I know the way it hollows

right through your name

I want to hold you close

and take your pain

Oh, I know that road

I know that rain

(I know that rain)

[Bridge]

If I could, I'd gather

every broken piece

Lay them in the morning

and pray they could sleep

But all I have is this trembling

this home I make with tears

A small light in my window

saying I am here

[Final Chorus]

Oh, I know that road

I know that rain

I know the way it hollows

right through your name

I want to hold you close

and take your pain

Oh, I know that road

I know that rain

(I know that rain)

(oh, I know that road)
