The grass is all dyin' the leaves brown and dry
The past is all the future in sight
And the road that I'm on is so dusty and hard
But the rain falls in Denver tonight
This night is forever she whispered to me
Those words I remember them all
And without you the darkness would cover the sky
And rain forever would fall
And now I look down that long windin' road
Stretching with no end in sight
And somehow it saddens me to know
That the rain falls in Denver tonight
[ harmonica - dobro ] Over my shoulder I take a last look
I still see the lights all aglow
I left her while she was sleeping last night
By now she surely must know
As winter must live and summer will die
As night fades with dawn's coming light
Here I stand with the wind blowin' in my hair
While the rain falls in Denver tonight
Yes the rain falls in Denver tonight
