Bring On the Rain - Jo Dee Messina

Ohhh ohhh ohhh Footsteps in the dust of a wasteland trailing back to a prison I'd rather leave a memory... A thought of yesterday. Then raindrops like bullets in a black sky start falling, slowly breaking away the mess I've made. Wash away my yesterday. I can feel this rain down the back of my body, falling hard, every drop is just like a brick that's breaking me. Washing away my yesterday. As the water gets high I can see it in the black sky, it's gonna take a flood to wash away the mess I've made. But if that's what it's gotta take... Then Lord bring the rain. I can't tell between the rain and my teardrops, drowning me slow until I finally let it go. Let the water take my soul. Then suddenly I'm on my knees realizing, if drowning means I'm breathing for the very first time, I welcome the pain... I'm begging for the rain! I can feel this rain down the back of my body, falling hard, every drop is just like a brick that's breaking me. Washing away my yesterday. As the water gets high I can see it in the black sky, it's gonna take a flood to wash away the mess I've made. But if that's what it's gotta take... Then Lord bring the rain. Wash away... Yesterday (yesterday) I can feel this rain down the back of my body, falling hard, every drop is just like a brick that's breaking me. Washing away my yesterday. As the water gets high I can see it in the black sky, it's gonna take a flood to wash away the mess I've made. But if that's what it's gotta take... Then Lord bring the rain.

The afternoon has gently passed me by The evening spreads its sail against the sky Waiting for tomorrow Just another day God bid yesterday goodbye Bring on the night I couldn't stand another hour of daylight Bring on the night I couldn't stand another hour of daylight The future is but a question mark Hangs above my head there in the dark Can't see for the brightness Is staring me blind God bid yesterday goodbye Bring on the night I couldn't stand another hour of daylight Bring on the night I couldn't stand another hour of daylight Bring on the night I couldn't stand another hour of daylight Bring on the night I couldn't stand another hour of daylight I couldn't stand another hour of daylight I couldn't stand another hour of daylight I couldn't stand another hour of daylight I couldn't stand another hour of daylight I couldn't stand another hour of daylight I couldn't stand another hour of daylight I couldn't stand another hour of daylight I couldn't stand another hour of daylight I couldn't stand another hour of daylight I couldn't stand another hour of daylight I couldn't stand another hour of daylight
