lyrics

I tried to do my part
with that stone you call a heart
No wildfire could melt your ice away
There’s something deep inside
Like a well that just run dry
In the middle of an August summer day
You’d walk across my soul
Until the ages roll
Wonder if I ever crossed your mind
But the smoking of the gun
And into my arms you’d run
Wake up to love you left so far behind
Pre chorus Hook:
Desert flower
Cracking earth
Tell me what my a/true love is worth
Would you throw all you care for down the drain
You’re all I want to see
But there’s nothing there for/of me
Loving you is just like praying for rain

The tolling of your bell
Echoes all the way from hell
Makes a woman feel like hope walked out door
Everywhere I turn
I keep feeling your eyes burn
Even though you can’t see me anymore
The night you left for good
I did the only thing I could
With your last breath I cried and cried and cried
The blood rolled down my hands
And disappeared into the sand
The heavens hollered as I watched you die
Desert flower
Cracking earth
Tell me what my a/true love is worth
Would you throw all you care for down the drain
You’re all I want to see
But there’s nothing there for/of me
Loving you is just like praying for rain
When love turns to rust
We all do what we must
Some stick around and smile through all the pain
I went into town
Bought a gun and shot you down
Got tired of praying and never seeing rain
Desert flower
Cracking earth
Tell me what a love is worth
Would you throw all you care for down the drain
You’re all I want to see
But there’s nothing there for me
Loving you is just like praying for rain

Valley Of Heart's Delight
by Margo Cilker

supported by 4 fans who also own “Praying For Rain”

This ain't Texas. This ain't Nashville. This is country that straddles the US and Canadian border. Its wide open, strong, and a little vulnerable, and in a lot of cases having a good ol' time. I love her feel. veenstar
