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

But I can hear a whisper in our haunted house these days



She won't set me free, she won't let me go, she won't leave my soul alone



Chorus:

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 alabast, 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, 'cos she won't let go, she won't leave my soul alone



chorus



(Instrumental break)



Now I'm a stranger to myself, now my life is not my own

She won't leave my soul alone



chorus



(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)

(repeats out)
