Lyrics

[Verse 1]

She cried to the southern wind

'Bout a love that was sure to end

Every dream in her heart was gone

Headin' for a showdown

[Verse 2]

Bad dreamer, what's your name?

Looks like we're ridin' on the same train

Looks as though there'll be more pain

There's gonna be a showdown

[Verse 3]

And it's rainin' all over the world

It's rainin' all over the world tonight

The longest night

[Verse 4]

She came to me like a friend

She blew in on a southern wind

Now my heart is turned to stone again

There's gonna be a showdown

[Verse 5]

Save me, oh, save me

It's unreal, the suffering

There's gonna be a showdown

[Verse 6]

And it's rainin' all over the world

It's rainin' all over the world tonight

The longest night

[Verse 7]

(Rainin', rainin')

(Rainin', rainin')

[Verse 8]

Rainin' all over the world

Rainin' all over the world

The longest night

[Verse 9]

And it's rainin' all over the world

Rainin' all over the world tonight

The longest night

[Verse 10]

You gotta save me, girl

When I'm ready for savin'

I'm a fool for you

You know I need you, child

Come on and save me

Can't you feel what you're doin' to me now?

I'm on the run again

Gotta save your soul
