Hard Rain Album

The game is up, you've had your fun
You've made a fool of everyone
You don't see no retribution
And believe you can always run for cover
Tell me the truth, do you really give a damn, baby?

I see thunder in your eyes betray you
And I wonder who'll be left to save you

All you want to do is
Rage on
You don't know what you're fighting for
You've done it all and more
Rage on
You don't know what you're fighting for
Don't come back knocking at my door

Your time has come and there's no doubt
There's nothing left to shout about
Your heart breaks, that's no illusion
You won't take just a minute to recover
Now tell me the truth, do you really give a damn, baby?

Now you found that open doorway
Everyone could see a wall
Well, you should've listened to yourself
When you knew you'd got it all
There's a shadow at the roadside
Still waiting for you there, yeah, yeah

Well, it's everybody's daydream
But the nightmare always comes
Well, you got your invitation young
Didn't walk, you had to run
One day looks like sunshine
Next day there'll be rain, yeah, yeah

You're a shooting star in electric skies
And your scarlet tears in a young girl's eyes

Well, it's a shame for the bad boy
Shame for the bad boy
Read in the news, going to drive all night
Never see the morning light
It's a shame for the bad boy

Got a look of sweet perfection
Mirrored in your face
Pictures of a worried man
You were always out of place
Pushed it to the limit
Didn't seem to care, yeah, yeah

Doing eighty five in the westbound lane
Five fifty nine will never be the same

Well, it's a shame for the bad boy
Shame for the bad boy
Now you're going to shine, burn so bright
Now you're going to lose your life
It's a shame for the bad boy

Black cat, well I ain't superstitious
Oh lord, tell me heavens above
Under a bad sign, well it ain't nobody's business
Tell me who do you love?

You don't give me no attention
This time, well I've had enough
Even a blind man sure going to see evil woman
Tell me who do you love, I said who do you love?

You'd start a fight in an empty house
And treat me just like a stray dog
You wind me up then you turn me out
And put me off like a bad job

Hard rain, love to see you falling
Wash you, get you out of my blood
Won't be the last time I'm going to end up in trouble
Tell me who do you love, I said who do you love?

Don't talk with a cold rejection
Ain't never going to take all night, no
I just want to lose the connection
And I'm going to make you feel all right
Not a thing, not a prize possession
Going down on a one way flight
Tell me who do you love?

Oh, baby
Ain't no pleasure, ain't no pain
I won't ever be the same
Took your love and run
I'm the loser from now on

It's crazy
I've got trouble on my mind
Didn't mean to be unkind
Can't believe you're gone
I've been crying all night long

Open up and let me in
I don't know where to begin
Open up and let me in

You'd better stop me from loving you
Stop me from loving you
'Cause deep in the night
Into the storm
Who's holding you tight
Keeping you warm
Stop me from loving you
Tell me I'm through

I can walk the line
You can see my face
What can I do?
In another time
In another place
I get to you

In your room, you're surrounded tonight
Lights down low and the music so loud
You've closed your eyes, it takes you from the crowd

Turn around, it don't look pretty
You saw the news today
This world is short on pity
A million miles away

You're looking for a way
Your mama don't like that music playing
Nobody likes those words you're saying
You're looking for a way
You're down on your knees again, start praying
Waiting for another day

Far away, to a place of no time
Like a dream where there'll be no today
No one cries and tomorrow's a word people say

You're looking for a way
Your mama don't like that music playing
Nobody likes those words you're saying
You're looking for a way
You're down on your knees again, start praying
Tell me what you're going to say?

I tell you straight, you know I should
Don't want to be misunderstood
I found another woman this time, got you on my mind

Open your door, fire in the hole
Well, I'm about to lose it, bless my soul
All you want to do is collect all you can get

You put me down but that's all right
You're going to be alone tonight

So won't you cry, cry, cry, a little bit
Your tears come falling, just like thunder and rain
Cry, cry, cry, just a little bit
You're in a dirty mess, well ain't that a shame?

Don't criticise, don't make a fuss
Ain't no solution for the two of us
Well, you go your way, not mine, baby, that's fine

Ain't no mistake, you've made your bed
I took advantage of the things you said
Everything you borrow, you pay, ain't that the way?

I felt the night come down around me
You spoke to me out loud
I couldn't break the dream, it's crazy
I'm lost on foreign ground
I know it's nothing new
But it happens to be true
I'm still in love with you baby blue

Shot down, back to where I started
Left me broken hearted and

My tears fell like pouring rain
And I will never be the same
Well, I must have been blind
I was looking but I couldn't see
You walking away, away from me

I can't believe the times lately
You've been on my mind
I wish I could say to you maybe
Words I could not find
I know they maybe few
But what am I to do?
I'm still in love with you baby blue

I can't sleep but I don't care, I'm in deep
And I'd go any place knowing she'd be there
I can't look, I got it bad, I'm giving up
Like a fish on a hook, knowing I've been had

I've got no defence
You could say it's my heart on the line
Ain't no pretence
It keeps happening time after time

'Cause I'm a fool for you, baby
You got my love and my devotion
I'm a fool for you, baby
I'm in perpetual commotion

You give me love every single day, it's in my blood
And you just can't fight it when you feel this way
Ain't no retreat, no turning back, my heart beats
Like a freight train coming, going to jump the track

About my intentions
I got nothing else on my mind
It's too late to mention
That loving you must be a crime

You never thought she could get to you
Oh no, hypnotised by a touch so tenderly and skin so white
She never tried to hurt or fool you
Oh no, never lied and everything you wanna be is in her eyes

Now the passion burns in you tonight
And the world could tumble down around your feet
When you're in somebody's arms who's going to treat you right
And you know that you don't ever want to leave, never, never

She started it up, you're into the fire
With a different kind of love
She opened the book, took you even higher
With a different kind of love
Now everyone looks, they don't understand
That feeling inside, it's going to get to you

It was an ordinary question, no clues or candlelight
A dozen roses at your door, no second sight
Now it's a love of sweet perfection, you choose and pay the price
You don't wonder any more, you know it's right

You can taste it
You need her oh so bad
You're about to lose your mind
And you can't take it
You don't have to feel so sad
You're only losing time

Confused all about revelations
They know it by heart and defend
In stone, every clause, every statement
You'd better believe it, some pretend

We don't need someone to be screaming
They all know to the day it will end
I need that old fashioned feeling
The wind blows, we're all going to bend

Like a bridge across a river
Like the earth around the sun
We won't be here forever
Better start having fun

Black dreams only last for a minute
Don't need that pain every day
Wake up, ain't no way to finish
You're in trouble, bad religion in your way

Like a bridge across a river
Like the earth around the sun
We won't be here forever
Kingdom come, thy will be done

Take it on home
Mama do me right
Bad to the bone
I really need you here tonight
Promise me salvation
Like a fool I was mistaken

You're checking out
I believe you're wrong
Ain't no doubt
That you're better back where you belong
Promise me salvation
Like a fool I was mistaken

Leave me drowning in the water
Need a lifeline, pull me to shore
Can't take no more

That ain't love, you keep trying to tell me
There's something wrong, ain't no doubt
That ain't love, how do you want to do me
Can't carry on, now you just shout about it
You want something you can't find
You've been running out of time
That ain't love
That ain't love

Break it up
You're the one to blame
Enough's enough
I'm about to lose my balls and brain
Promise me salvation
Like a fool I was mistaken

Oh, baby
Ain't no pleasure, ain't no pain
I won't ever be the same
Took your love and run
I'm the loser from now on

It's crazy
I've got trouble on my mind
Didn't mean to be unkind
Can't believe you're gone
I've been crying all night long

Open up and let me in
I don't know where to begin
Open up and let me in

You'd better stop me from loving you
Stop me from loving you
'Cause deep in the night
Into the storm
Who's holding you tight
Keeping you warm
Stop me from loving you
Tell me I'm through

I can walk the line
You can see my face
What can I do?
In another time
In another place
I get to you
