Every time it rains I run to my window
And all I do is ring my hands and moan
Listen to that thunder, can't you hear that lonesome wind moan?
Tell me baby, why you been gone so long?
Tell me baby, why you been go so long, you been gone so long now
Tell me baby, why you been gone so long?
Wolf's scratching at my door, lord can't you hear that lonesome wind moan
Tell me baby, why you been gone so long?
Nothin' here to do, but I guess I could get stoned
And let the past paint pictures in my head
And kill a fifth of thunderbird, and try to write a sad sad song
Tell me baby, why you been gone so long?
Tell me baby, why you been go so long, you been gone so long now
Tell me baby, why you been gone so long?
Wolf's scratching at my door, lord can't you hear that lonesome wind moan
Tell me baby, why you been gone so long?
