( Parfitt )
How can I see what I'm leaving for
How can I give what I gave before
How can you tell me that you want me to stay
How can I stay when I'm trying to say
That I can live without the rain
Yes I can live without the rain
How can I feel what I'm trying to feel
How can move when I'm heel to heel
You're always shouting about the doubt in my eye
But I can't answer 'cos my eyes are so dry
Now I can live without the rain
Yes I can live without the rain
I can live without the rain
That's falling on my head
Rain that's falling on my head
Rain that's falling
Rain that's falling
Rain that's falling on my head
I started thinking back to you know when
I'd like to send a line but then again
How can I write you when there ain't no light
I'm feeling thight tonight and that's alright
Now I can live without the rain
Yes I can live without the rainShe met him one night in Laredo just a wild comanchero they say
They told her that he'd been an outlaw and she'd have to send him away
They warned her of toil and of hardships and a life filled with heartaches and tears
Then one day he sent her a message the one she'd been waiting to hear
Meet me tonight in Laredo wait till the moon's hanging low
Meet me tonight in Laredo we'll soon be in old Mexico
The night as they slipped through the darkness
To the trail where their horses were tied
He whispered a prayer for tomorrow that she would be safe by his side
She smiled as they climbed in the saddle and as swift as a wild prairie wind
They rode to the Madre Sierra repeating these words once again
Meet me tonight in Laredo wait till the moon's hanging low
Meet me tonight in Laredo we'll soon be in old Mexico.
Now in their own hacienda in the glow of a soft candle light
The hands that once held a sixgun are holding their baby tonight
She echoes his God will go with us and at night when the moon's hanging low
She smiles as she fondly remembers the words he had said long ago
Meet me tonight in Laredo wait till the moon's hanging low
Meet me tonight in Laredo we'll soon be in old Mexico
