Listen to the rain come down on the roof Someone needs a miracle And I'm the livin' proof Drink Light a cigarette And let me count the ways I can hear a whisper In a haunted house these days She won't set me free She won't let me go She won't leave my soul alone She just leads me to the river As my heart goes down in flames Till she comes back to me I'll have to pray for rain Wrap yourself around me Only you can pull me through Through this desert that I call my heart I'll pray for rain to you To you To you I can see the firelight reflected on her skin She was smooth as alabaster With a taste of salt and sin Slave to a servant A prisoner to a kiss Addicted to temptation And we did not resist Now I can't get free She won't let go She won't leave my soul alone She¹ll just lead me to the river As my heart goes down in flames Till she comes back to me I'll have to pray for rain Wrap yourself around me Only you can pull me through Through this desert that I call my heart I'll pray for rain to you Now I'm a stranger to myself Now my life is not my own She won't leave my soul alone She¹ll just lead me to the river As my heart goes down in flames Till she comes back to me I'll have to pray for rain Wrap yourself around me Only you can pull me through Through this desert that I call my heart I'll pray for rain to you (Lead me to the river) Lead me to the river I'll pray for rain (Lead me to the river) (Pray for rain) She comes back to me again (Lead me to the river) Lead me down Take me down (Lead me to the river) (Pray for rain) Pray for rain (Lead me to the river) (Lead me to the river) (Lead me to the river) (Pray for rain) (Lead me to the river) (Lead me to the river) (Lead me to the river) (Pray for rain) (Lead me to the river)

Once there came a storm in the form of a girl It blew to pieces my snug little world Sometimes I swear, I can still hear it howl Down through the wreckage and the ruins And it ain't gonna rain anymore Now my baby's gone And it ain't gonna rain anymore Now my baby's gone Now the storm has passed over me I'm left to drift on a dead calm sea And watch her forever through the cracks in the beams Nailed across the door of the bedrooms of my dreams And it ain't gonna rain anymore Now my baby's gone And it ain't gonna rain anymore Now my baby's gone, baby's gone Now I got no one to hold Now I'm all alone again It ain't too hot but it ain't too cold And there is no sign of rain And it ain't gonna rain anymore Now my baby's gone And it ain't gonna rain anymore Now my baby's gone And I'm here I'm on my own She ain't coming back no more She ain't coming back no more She ain't coming back no more Say what you will, I don't care And it ain't gonna rain anymore Now my baby's gone, yeah And it ain't gonna rain anymore Now my baby has gone
