I Want to Say a Prayer Lyrics

Frozen like ice
Charlie Mingus on a rainy night
Row the boat fisherman
One more time, one more time
Hey! It's all over now
Find a streetlamp and take a bow
Dance with a stranger, love has no fences now

And the gun's not loaded
If you want to talk it out
But I'm through explaining what this life's all about

Chorus
I want to say a prayer
Is anybody listening, anybody there
I want to say a prayer
Is anybody there
Walk down to the scene
Unborn babies and sidewalk machines
Love me in your dreams
One more time, one more time

And I'm standing right here
If you want to dance
So hold on baby 'cos this might be my last chance
Chorus

I kneel at the altar of love's tenderness
I'm waiting in the doorway for angels to care
I'm fixing the roof but
The rain's coming in
And I can't find the words
Or the courage
To ask where you've been

Chorus
