She cried to the southern wind
about a love that was sure to end
every dream in her heart was gone
heading for a showdown.
Bad dreamer, what's your name?
looks like we're riding on the same train
looks as though there'll be more pain
there's gonna be a showdown.
[chorus]
and it's raining, all over the world
raining, all over the world
tonight, the longest night.
She came to me like a friend
she blew in on the southern wind
now my heart is turned to stone again
there's gonna be a showdown.
Save me, oh save me
it's unreal, the suffering
there's gonna be a showdown.
[chorus]
(raining, raining ... raining, raining)
Raining, all over the world
raining, all over the world
the longest night.
[chorus]
You gotta save me, girl
well, i'm ready for saving
i'm a fool for you
ya know i'm ready, come on and save me
Can't you feel what you're doing to me, now?
i'm on the run again.
Gotta save me... (fade)
