About the Song

“Listen to the Rain” was first rehearsed for the Timespace: The Best of Stevie Nicks (1991) sessions.

Lyrics

Well you’re a front liner
You put it all on the line
And you’re a gambler
You turn lucky every time
Ooh, you’re consistent
Hey, and that’s good
And you’re persistent
Well, I am overcome

Well, you’re not like anyone else
(You’re not like anyone)
You’re just an instant flash of light
That shines through the night like a lighthouse

Well, you’re a victim
Phantom of the opera
And you’ve been everywhere
And you live in dark shadows
You do what you want to
There’s no Beauty and the Beast here
No, no, no
There’s no Beauty and the Beast here

Well, you’re not like anyone else
(You’re not like anyone)
You’re just an instant flash of light
That shines…

Well, open up the window
And you will hear the rain
Come back to me once more
And throw away the pain

My world will still revolve around you
(Listen to the rain)
Ooh, Take time
To listen to the rain
(Listen to the rain)
Take time baby
To listen to the rain

(Well, she didn’t know better)
Well, she didn’t know then that
The sound that she heard
(Well, she didn’t know)
Was the sound of her own door…closing

Open up the window
And listen to the rain
Take some time to smell the roses
And you can throw away the pain
My world will still revolve around you
(So listen to the rain)

Take time, baby, to listen to the rain
(And listen to the rain)
Take time to listen to the rain (a little time, baby)
(And listen to the rain)
Take time and listen to the rain (a little time, baby)
(And listen to the rain)
Well, take time and listen to the rain (a little time, baby)
(And listen to the rain)

Take time, honey
Take a little time, honey
(And listen to the rain)
Take time, honey
And take a little time, baby
(And listen to the rain)

Take time and listen to the rain (a little time, baby)
(And listen to the rain)
Take time to listen to the rain (a little time, baby)
Well, take it
So take it
