She cried to the Southern windAbout a love that was sure to endEvery dream in her heart was goneHeading for a showdown.Bad dreamer, what's your name?Looks like we're riding on the same trainLooks as though there'll be more painThere's gonna be a showdown.And it's raining, all over the worldRaining, all over the worldTonight, the longest night.She came to me like a friendShe blew in on the Southern windNow my heart is turned to stone againThere's gonna be a showdown.Save me, oh save meIt's unreal, the sufferingThere's gonna be a showdown.And it's raining, all over the worldRaining, all over the worldTonight, the longest night.(Raining, raining raining, raining)Raining, all over the worldRaining, all over the worldThe longest night.And it's raining, all over the worldRaining, all over the worldTonight, the longest night.You gotta save me, girlWell, I'm ready for savingI'm a fool for youYa know I'm ready, come on and save meCan't you feel what you're doing to me, now?I'm on the run again. Gotta save me
