"Burning Down The Town" lyrics

I hope the clouds are gathering
Around her house tonight
She's putting on her makeup
And Lord she's looking right

I know just where she's headed
And I know my part ain't there
So I pray for rain cause my old flame
Is out burning down the town

The fire still burns but the table turned
She don't yearn for me
And somewhere tonight she's glowing bright
For all the world to see

Oh Lord don't let her do it
Please turn her heart around
I'm praying for rain cause my old flame
Is out burning down the town

Each night I spend without her
Leaves no room for doubt
That all these tears from crying
Never put her out

Lord I know she's burning
Cause the smoke is all around
I'm praying for rain cause my old flame
Is out burning down the town

The fire still burns but the table turned
She don't yearn for me
And somewhere tonight she's glowing bright
For all the world to see

Oh Lord don't let her do it
Please turn her heart around
I'm praying for rain cause my old flame
Is out burning down the town

I'm on my knees begging please
To send some rain downtown
