William Topley - Delta Rain lyrics

rate me

Thunder’s up and the real live wires are talking<br />

Set me straight as the rain falls on New Orleans<br />

Silver bells ring for treaties made by starlight<br />

For Southern girls and their faces lit by fire-flies<br />

<br />

Chorus: <br />

And through the gutters there will be water<br />

Running wilder than sea and as the rain comes <br />

Down a thousand circles fade like you and me<br />

They call us lovers because our bony legs are tied <br />

Once more to seed, but there ain’t nothing I won’t risk<br />

To set this bird of love fly free<br />

Shake your hair out and come and dance with me<br />

We are lonely with no good need to be <br />

Where the river grows wide to kiss the sea <br />

Floods the delta and lover’s eyes can see <br />

<br />

Tonight is hot and there’s no wind from the ocean<br />

I hear the drums as they bang across the water<br />

Voodoo bells ring for treaties made by starlight<br />

Forgotten gold and greed and fear at midnight<br />

<br />

Chorus<br />

<br />

Do you remember how we held each other tight in sorrow<br />

Does it haunt you still?<br />

And in a single raindrop I can see all our tomorrows<br />

Baby, can’t you too?<br />

<br />

Shake your hair out and come and dance with me<br />

We are lonely with no good need to be <br />

Where the river grows wide to kiss the sea <br />

(she keeps rolling my life’s still in misery)<br />

Floods the delta and lover’s eyes can see
