Lyrics
Rain on the skylight, soft as a sigh Streetlamp painting gold on the sky I wrote your name then I wiped it clean Wondering what we could have been The kettle clicks and the room goes still Phone face down on the windowsill Should I call, should I wait Is it early or is it too late Quiet hours, rain on the skylight Say what you mean in the middle of the night Quiet hours, hold me in the sound Maybe second chances come around Quiet hours, I'm listening For your name in the rain, for the way you sing Our old song hums on the radio Low enough that only I would know I traced a heart in the fogged-up glass Some things you keep and some things pass But the rain keeps time and the heart keeps score And I'm not mad at you anymore Should I call, should I wait Is it early or is it too late Quiet hours, rain on the skylight Say what you mean in the middle of the night Quiet hours, hold me in the sound Maybe second chances come around Quiet hours, I'm listening For your name in the rain, for the way you sing Maybe I'll send a simple hello Four little letters, nothing to show If the rain can fall and the sky can clear Maybe love can find its way back here Quiet hours, rain on the skylight Say what you mean in the middle of the night Quiet hours, hold me in the sound Maybe second chances come around Quiet hours, I'm listening For your name in the rain, for the way you sing Quiet hours Rain on the skylight
