Pray For Rain [Bad English featuring Ricky Phillips]

Pray For Rain
Written by John Waite, Neal Schon, Mark Spiro
Lead Vocals by John Waite

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

She'll 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

She'll 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)

Interpretation

I need a miracle. One night of passion has left me wanting more. It's like I'm living in a desert and praying for rain, waiting for you to come back.
