Just let the midnight rain
Come and ease my troubled soul
Oh, let the midnight rain
Set me free

I've been lyin' to myself
And I've got nothing to show
For the years I've been loving you

And I've been prayin', prayin' for release
From all these endless lonely nights
That you put me through

Let the midnight rain
Come and ease my troubled soul
Let the midnight rain
Set me free

I know heaven is way beyond the stars
And I'm never gonna reach it
Cause there's a fever hotter than the sun
And it's burnin' me up deep inside
So what am I to do

Let the midnight rain
Come and ease my troubled soul
Let the midnight rain, baby
Set me free

And if I can't break away
And it's here that I have to stay
Just let the midnight rain

I know heaven is way beyond the stars
And I'm never gonna reach it
Cause there's a fever hotter than the sun
And it's burnin' me up deep inside
So what am I to do

Let the midnight rain
Come and ease my troubled soul
Let the midnight rain
Set me free

Let the midnight rain
Come and ease my troubled soul
Let the midnight rain, baby
Set me free...
