One Night Out in the Rain

<br>She had set herself against him<br>before he`d even stepped in the door<br>She had examined all the evidence<br>and this had happened more than once before<br><br>He came in tired from the working day<br>weary from the working atmosphere<br>When he fell back into the couch<br>He wished he could just disappear<br><br>So he avoided her like he had been <br>lately in his mind<br>He though her anger was relentless<br>and she never just let him unwind. He said<br><br>You tell me my life`s a prison<br>I tell you yours is a pit<br>That seems so hopeless, babe<br>how can we work with it?<br>We`re both trapped<br>We both need<br>We`re locked up<br>and we want to be freed<br><br>They were searching for a reason<br>they should continue on in this<br>They`d given up all hope of romance now<br>They just wanted to coexist<br><br>Oh but lately even this was getting harder<br>For the two of them to maintain<br>And when the darkness seemed to close in<br>she`d often go out walking in the rain<br><br>One night she heard something saving<br>in the way the wind mingled with her hair<br>She ran home to tell him of the hope she`d found<br>in the midst of their despair. She said<br><br>Now you tell me my life`s a prison<br>I tell you yours is a pit<br>So let`s agree on that and just get on with it<br>We`re both trapped<br>We both need<br>We`re locked up<br>and we want to be freed<br>We tell lies<br>to our own heart<br>then we`re so surprised<br>We`re so torn apart<br><br>We need God<br>We need a higher hand<br>We need something far, far, far above this broken land<br>We need God.
