[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)
