Lyrics

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)
