Showdown

Electric Light Orchestra

She cried to the Southern wind

About a love that was sure to end

Every dream in her heart was gone

Heading for a showdown.



Bad dreamer, what's your name?

Looks like we're riding on the same train

Looks as though there'll be more pain

There's gonna be a showdown.



[Chorus]

And it's raining, all over the world

Raining, all over the world

Tonight, the longest night.



She came to me like a friend

She blew in on the Southern wind

Now my heart is turned to stone again

There's gonna be a showdown.



Save me, oh save me

It's unreal, the suffering

There's gonna be a showdown.



[Chorus]



(Raining, raining ... raining, raining)



Raining, all over the world

Raining, all over the world

The longest night.



[Chorus]



You gotta save me, girl

Well, I'm ready for saving

I'm a fool for you

Ya know I'm ready, come on and save me



Can't you feel what you're doing to me, now?

I'm on the run again.



Gotta save me... (fade)
