William Topley - Delta Rain lyrics

Thunder's up and the real live wires are talking

Set me straight as the rain falls on New Orleans

Silver bells ring for treaties made by starlight

For Southern girls and their faces lit by fire-flies

And through the gutters there will be water

Running wilder than sea and as the rain comes

Down a thousand circles fade like you and me

They call us lovers because our bony legs are tied

Once more to seed, but there ain't nothing I won't risk

To set this bird of love fly free

Shake your hair out and come and dance with me

We are lonely with no good need to be

Where the river grows wide to kiss the sea

Floods the delta and lover's eyes can see

Tonight is hot and there's no wind from the ocean

I hear the drums as they bang across the water

Voodoo bells ring for treaties made by starlight

Forgotten gold and greed and fear at midnight

And through the gutters there will be waterWilliam Topley - Delta Rain - http://motolyrics.com/william-topley/delta-rain-lyrics.html

Running wilder than sea and as the rain comes

Down a thousand circles fade like you and me

They call us lovers because our bony legs are tied

Once more to seed, but there ain't nothing I won't risk

To set this bird of love fly free

Shake your hair out and come and dance with me

We are lonely with no good need to be

Where the river grows wide to kiss the sea

Floods the delta and lover's eyes can see

Do you remember how we held each other tight in sorrow

Does it haunt you still?

And in a single raindrop I can see all our tomorrows

Baby, can't you too?

Shake your hair out and come and dance with me

We are lonely with no good need to be

Where the river grows wide to kiss the sea

(she keeps rolling my life's still in misery)

Floods the delta and lover's eyes can see
