17 Days (Piano & a Microphone 1983 Version)

[Spoken Intro]

Is that my echo?

Give me the straighter one

Could you turn the lights down?

Good God!

[Verse 1]

Called you yesterday

You didn't answer your phone

Main drag is knowing that

You probably weren't alone

Turn the voice down a little

[Verse 2]

I wanna call you everyday

And beg you to be near me

I know your head is underwater

I doubt that you could hear me

[Chorus]

Let the rain come down

Let the rain come down

Let the rain come down, down

Let the rain come down

Let the rain come down

Let the rain come down, down

[Refrain]

Ha, ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha

Ha, ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha

[Verse 3]

Been gone seventeen days

Seventeen long nights

The main drag is knowing that

You're holding someone else tight

[Verse 4]

I wanna to call you everyday

And beg you to be near me

I know your head is underwater

I doubt that you could hear me

[Chorus]

So let the rain come down

Let the rain come down

Let the rain come down, down

Hey hey

Rain

Oh baby, down!

[Refrain]

Ha, ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha

Oh my seventeen days

Ha, ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha

[Piano Solo]

[Verse 5]

Been gone seventeen days

Seventeen long nights

Always a drag, baby, I know

You're holding someone else tight

[Verse 6]

I wanna to call you everyday

Beg you to be near me

I know your head is underwater

I doubt that you could hear me

[Chorus]

So let the rain come down

Come on down

Let the rain come down, down

Oh, oh

Come on down, yeah

Come on down, yeah, baby, oh

Yeah, oooh, yeah, oooh

Come down

Oh oh oh oh

[Refrain]

Ha, ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha

Ha, ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha
