Down here the river meets the sea And in the sticky heat I feel ya' open up to me Love comes out of nowhere baby, like a hurricane And it feels like rain Underneath the stars lying next to you Wondering who you are baby How do you do? When the clouds blow in across the moon And the wind howls out your name Feels like rain We'll never make that bridge tonight Across lake ponchartrain Feel like rain Batten down the hatches But keep your heart out on your sleeve A little bit of stormy weather, that's no cause for us to leave Just stay here baby, in my arms Let it wash away the pain Feels like rain
