Stop The Rain

(الألبوم: Shenandoah - 1987)

Oh it sure can rain
Down in New Orleans
Turn the city streets into raging streams
While the beer can boats
Sit in Jackson Square
I met a mystery woman with raven hair

She cast a spell
Somehow I knew that to resist
Would be in vain
I might as well have tried to stop the rain

In a hotel room
Above the stage and street
Her dark skin soft on the tangled sheets
Oh the winter wind howls
As our souls entwine
Forbidden fruit makes the sweetest wine

Time stood still
Passion would ignite a hurricane
Oh I might as well have tried to stop the rain

[?]
In my dreams, in my dreams
Cause in the cold gray dawn of reality
[?]
I still hear my voice begging her to stay
I still taste the tears that I kissed away

Then she was gone
I feel the footsteps echo in my brain
Oh I might as well have tried to stop the rain

Stop the rain, stop the rain
Stop the rain, stop the rain
Oh I might as well have tried to stop the rain
And it sure can rain down in New Orleans
