Prayin' For Rain

(album: Come Back To Me - 1982)

I feel the fire and I feel the pain
The flame of desire is burning again
I'm sorry you left and I'm sorry you came
'Cause you came and left me praying for rain

Ten tons of water just might put out the fire
But ten thousand lovers couldn't kill this desire
You found the ember that started this flame
Then you left me hurting, praying for rain

I heard some thunder but the clouds rolled on by
I see a rainbow and it's gonna be dry
The fire's growing wilder Lord, it's too wild to tame
It's burning my dreams and I'm praying for rain

I need a cloudburst and I need one bad
I need a flood like this world's never had
I'm sorry you left and I'm sorry you came
'Cause you came and left me praying for rain

I heard some thunder but the clouds rolled on by
I see a rainbow and it's gonna be dry
The fire's growing wilder Lord, it's too wild to tame
It's burning my dreams and I'm praying for rain

I heard some thunder but the clouds rolled on by
I see a rainbow and it's gonna be dry
The fire's growing wilder Lord, it's too wild to tame
It's burning my dreams and I'm praying for rain

I heard some thunder but the clouds rolled on by
I see a rainbow and it's gonna be dry
The fire's growing wilder Lord, it's too wild to tame
It's burning my dreams... and I'm praying for rain
