Wayland Holyfield - Stop the Rain lyrics

[Verse 1] Oh it sure can rain Down in New Orleans Turn the city streets into raging streams While the beer can boats Sit in Jackson Square I met a mystery woman with raven hair [Chorus] She cast a spell Somehow I knew that to resist Would be in vain I might as well have tried to stop the rain [Verse 2] In a hotel room Above the stage and street Her dark skin soft on the tangled sheets Oh the winter wind howls As our souls entwine Forbidden fruit makes the sweetest wine [Chorus] Time stood still Pa**ion would ignite a hurricane Oh I might as well have tried to stop the rain [Verse 3] In a [?] [?] New Orleans [?] In my dreams, in my dreams Cause in the cold gray dawn of reality [?] I still hear my voice beggin' her to stay I still taste the tears that I kissed away [Chorus] Then she was gone I feel the footsteps echo in my brain Oh I might as well have tried to stop the rain [Tag] Stop the rain, stop the rain Stop the rain, stop the rain Oh I might as well have tried to stop the rain And it sure can rain down in New Orleans
