Showdown [album Version] Lyrics - The Studio Albums: 1973-1977 - 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. 

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. 

And it's raining, all over the world 

Raining, all over the world 

Tonight, the longest night. 

(Raining, raining raining, raining) 

Raining, all over the world 

Raining, all over the world 

The longest night. 

And it's raining, all over the world 

Raining, all over the world 

Tonight, the longest night. 

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
