Lyrics
Talk to Me
Talk to me like the rain and let me listen
Talk to me like the rain and let me listen
We are together and yet we are apart
I sense desire lurking in your heart
Tell me all your secrets, whisper in my ear
Tell me the things that I long to hear.
Talk to me like the rain and let me listen
Talk to me like the rain and let me listen
A desert lies before me, the air is hot and dry.
I can not see you, I start to cry.
Where is my oasis, fountains of my youth
pools of beauty, rivers of truth.
Talk to me like the rain and let me listen
Talk to me like the rain and let me listen
White, winds of summer blow about the room.
Patiently I wait in the hot mid afternoon.
Clouds begin to gather, rain begins to fall.
Suddenly I hear you speak above it all.
Talk to me like the rain and let me listen
Talk to me like the rain and let me listen
