Let the sun sing in your smile
Let the wind hold your desire
Let your womans voice run through your veins
Let her be your blood don't feel ashamed

She's your home when no one wants you
She'll give you life when you're so tired
She'll ease your fears ah when you're a stranger
She's born to give faith to you
Oh, just to you

You're just a man on death's highways
It's life you owe you're here to praise it
If love flows your way then be a river
And when it dries just stand there and shiver

Oh, let the sun sing in your smile
Let the wind hold your desire
And let your womans voice run through your veins
Let her be your blood don't feel ashamed
It's her life you owe
I owe you love

Love me, as if someday you'd hate me
For what I give is yours without a name
To fill your night long needs
Only as long as you say

This time you'll learn that love is just a slave
To where the heart beats stronger
This time you'd need in turn or promise forever
I could have been a boy from long ago you've left forgotten
And lately you've wondered where he's gone

Oh, it's never hold to me not as long as love lives in this house
Take me, after all you've lost and never wanted
Somewhere between all the nights you've tasted wine of men forever
Until they left you to wake alone

Aw, but it's never said to me
Not when the years live in these hours
And darling love me as if someday you'd hate me
For what I am is here in front of you longing to know
How long you'd care for me

This time you'll learn that love is just a slave
To where your heart beats stronger
That's where you stay.

I had a talk with my woman late last night
And she reassured me everything was alright
And time hung still like a falling rain
Now I know at last that my love is safe
Ah but when I go away my love I leave
Lord I'm but half a man without her by my side
She's this memory that I hold all around
She's this dream that I always hold to believe

I wanna go upon a mountain
And sing my love and sing my love
I wanna sing it high, sing it down low
Then I'm gonna know how long it's gonna last
Then I'm gonna know how long it's gonna last

Well you know your Moses, oh lord he lost his way
Ah, and your Jesus don't remember the words
Well then I guess it's just you and me brother
All alone in this cold world
All alone in this cold world

Ah, you gotta go upon a mountain
And learn to sing your love, learn to sing your love
You know I can sing it high, sing it down low
Then we gonna know how long it's gonna last
Then we gonna know how long it's gonna last

Hard rain, sweet rain, fall a little while longer
Wash down the city skies
Lord bring the streets alive
Make it like it was, long before I was born.

When there's wine in your belly
Love rhythm's on your tongue
For you are a woman
And each man has been too young

But for me you were a lover
Gently under your cover
Your sheet reeks of others

Oh I came here to hold and be held for a while

I've been drifting like a dream out on the sea
I've been drifting in between you and me
Every time I think about you
I can't remember what I said or did
Was right or wrong, you know I just don't remember
All I wanna be is what you mean to me
All I wanna be is what you mean to me

Late last night as I dreamed in dizzy sunlight
I thought I heard your bare feet up the stairs
Just like a fool, just like a fool
I've been drifting
Like a dream out on the sea
I've been drifting in between what used to be

I left my baby standing in the backdoor crying
I left my baby standing in the backdoor crying
She said "you got a home as long as I got mine"
She said "you got a home as long as I got mine"

And nobody walking, nobody talking
Ever pay the price I owe her
Ah, there ain't nobody living, nobody giving
Ever pay the price I owe her

But sometimes you gotta turn your back
Ah, sometimes you gotta turn your back
Just to show that little girl
That there is something she's gonna lack
Just to show that little girl
There's something more that you desire

Nobody walking nobody talking
Ever pay the price
Nobody living, anybody giving
Ever pay the price I owe her

I don't need it to rain
I don't need it to rain
I don't need it to rain
Oh to rain

Well I know you've been turning tricks honey
Up and down the avenue
And I've been trying to tease you
Oh, just to see what you'd do
I don't need it to rain
I don't need it to rain
No more

When that storm comes raining down
When that storm comes raining down
There ain't gonna be nobody, honey
Oh to keep you warm
Ain't gonna be nobody mama here to keep you warm
No more

Ah there ain't nobody walking nobody talking
Ever pay the price not for you honey
There ain't nobody living nobody giving
Ever pay the price I owe
Not to rain not to rain not to rain
Mama not to rain
