[Verse 1]
I cried to the southern wind
'Bout a love that was sure to end
Every dream in my heart was gone
Headin' for a showdown (Headin' for a showdown)
Bad dream, what's your name?
Looks like we're ridin' on the same train
If you don't, there'll be more pain
Headin' for a showdown (Headin' for a showdown)
[Chorus]
And it's raining all over the world
Raining all over the world
[Verse 2]
He came to me like a friend
He flew in on the southern wind
Now my heart is trying to start again
Gonna be a showdown (Gonna be a showdown)
Save mе, oh save me (Save mе, Lord)
It hurts, the way you're suffering
Gonna be a showdown (Gonna be a showdown)
[Chorus]
And it's raining all over the world
Raining all over the world
[Guitar Solo]
(Don't you know) Don't you know
That there's gonna be a showdown?
(Gonna be a showdown)
(Don't you know) Don't you know
That there's gonna be a showdown?
(Gonna be a showdown)
[Chorus]
And it's raining all over the world
Raining all over the world
Tonight, the longest night
[Chorus]
Raining all over the world
It's raining all over the world
Woo, oh
[Outro]
(Rainin', rainin', there's gonna be a showdown)
(Rainin', rainin', there's gonna be a showdown)
(Rainin', rainin', there's gonna be a showdown)
(Rainin', rainin', there's gonna be a showdown)
(Rainin', rainin', there's gonna be a showdown)
(Rainin', rainin', there's gonna be a showdown)
(Rainin', rainin', there's gonna be a showdown)
(Rainin', rainin', there's gonna be a showdown)...
