On The Third Day

She cried to the southern wind
About a love that was sure to end
Every dream in her heart was gone
Headin' for a showdown

Bad dreamer, what's your name
Looks like we're ridin' on the same train
Looks as through there'll be more pain
There's gonna be a showdown

And it's rainin' all over the world
It's raining all over the world
Tonight, the longest night

She came to me like a friend
She blew in on a 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

And it's rainin' all over the world
It's raining all over the world
Tonight, the longest night

Susan spent the weekend at her stately home
Crying at the lions on the garden wall
And then she'd sigh -- sneak away
Look at her style -- free the day

Oh no not me -- i wouldn't
Oh no not me -- i couldn't
That's all she says, her money and her place
They just don't mean a thing

Susan met the lords and dukes of everywhere
Smiling kissing wishing that they'd go to hell
And then she'd laugh -- wonder why
Take a nap -- sit and cry

Oh no not me -- i wouldn't
Oh no not me -- i couldn't
That's all she says, her money and her place
They just don't mean a $#%@%#$ thing

Saviour of the night came slowly on the silent river
And the lord of life came following, his sins to be forgiven
While the world sat back and laughed away the hours
Till the dawning of the daybreak

I heard them laugh i heard them cry
I saw them praying to the sky
I heard the wind howl in the trees
Down there on bended knee
And i see the light
But i know i must be dreaming

Feel the soul, quiet emotion
Sail on by, helpless devotion
If that's how it feels, it better be real

Take care of your woman
Or you'll never ever see the light
Take heed of the warnin'
Or you know it's gonna be too late

Here, there, everywhere
They keep on movin' without fear
They look me up, they look me down
They press my body to the ground
But i see the light, see the light it's comin' shinin'

And on a summers day
When thoughts are drifting far away
And life is good and real to see
My world is saved and i am free
But in the night
Still i know i must be dreaming

Got love, if that's what you need
I got three or four babies sittin' on my knee
I got love waitin' for you
I come sneakin' round the corner of the avenue

You gotta ma-ma-ma belle, or i will get you
You know you gotta ma-ma-ma belle, before i get you

There's one thing that's on my mind
And that's getting hold of you before i serve my time
I'll keep on, with my heavy load
Till i see you come a strollin' down that open road

You gotta ma-ma-ma belle, or i will get you
You know you gotta ma-ma-ma belle, before i get you

I love you ma-ma-ma belle
That's why i want to get it all well i'm sure you can tell
I got, good soul, runnin' so deep
Gonna get you in the corner so that i can keep
Can't you hear me once ma-ma-ma belle

You gotta ma-ma-ma belle, or i will get you
You know you gotta ma-ma-ma belle, before i get you
