I need someone to help me through this life
I need somebody to see me to the end
Won't you be my saviour in the rain?
Won't you be my saviour in the rain?
Let me up the ladder from the scars of yesterday
Straight across the border down the blood-stained winding way
Where you'll be my saviour in the rain.
I don't want to do my duty, I don't want to earn my cross
Just freedom from my daily grind with no one counting costs
Somebody be my saviour in the rain.
Somewhere down the avenue my brainchild waits for me
Over and over she calls out loud: 'Come home, I long for thee'
Says she'll be my saviour in the rain.
