I Want To Say A Prayer

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 'cause 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
