Fire In The Rain

(album: The Dirt Road - 1992)

Well, I've been running right behind you
Lord, I'm wearing out my shoes
I been saving up my loving, saving it for you
Well, it's like trying to build a fire in the rain

It's like trying to build a fire
When the rain is pouring down
Like swimming in muddy water
Treading slow until you drown
It's like trying to stop a clock, Lord
like trying to stop a train
It's like trying to build a fire in the rain

Well, I keep asking 'bout your love, dear
But you won't ever say
"I've been looking for direction"
But you won't show the way
Well, it's like trying to build a fire in the rain

It's like trying to build a fire
When the rain is pouring down
Like swimming in muddy water
Treading slow until you drown
It's like trying to stop a clock, Lord
like trying to stop a train
It's like trying to build a fire in the rain

Well, it's like trying to build a fire in the rain

It's like trying to build a fire
When the rain is pouring down
Like swimming in muddy water
Treading slow until you drown
It's like trying to stop a clock, Lord
like trying to stop a train
It's like trying to build a fire in the rain
