prayin' for rain

Marty Robbins

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 prayin' 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 hurtin', prayin' 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 growin' wilder Lord, it's too wild to tame
It's burnin' my dreams and I'm prayin' 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 prayin' 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 growin' wilder Lord, it's too wild to tame
It's burnin' my dreams and I'm prayin' 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 growin' wilder Lord, it's too wild to tame
It's burnin' my dreams and I'm prayin' 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 growin' wilder Lord, it's too wild to tame
It's burnin' my dreams (fade) and I'm prayin' for rain
