Lyrics This Has Happened Before - Rosanne Cash

This Has Happened Before

Last night’s old anger
This morning made me cry
But the rain like an old friend
Came by to change my mind
The wind knows secrets
Like it knew what was in store
Reminds me oh so kindly
This has happened before
Been waiting at my window
I thought I heard your name
But the quiet of the evening
Was teasing me again
It’s not too late for talking
But I’m afraid to ask for more
And the wind recalls that after all
This has happened before
Don’t let your memories seem to be laughing at my pain
Trying not to listen is like talking to the rain
A love like a candle
Can’t take me through the storm
It’s bright enough to burn me
But too weak to keep me warm
I find my explanations
When I won’t need them anymore
Me and my old friends know
This has happened before
Me and the wind know
This has happened before
