Babylon
Voodoo Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Every time it rains
I can hear you sing
I can hear your heartbeat
Won't you take me in your wings?
This way it's true
With time it grew
I may not know much
But there's no one like you

Days seem so long
And nights sing this song
In Babylon

Every time it rains
I can hear you sing
I can hear your heartbeat
Won't you take me in your wings?
This way it's true
With time it grew
I may not know much
But there's no one like you

Days seem so long
And nights sing this song
In Babylon

I've known all along
When darkness comes your way just wait till dawn
I may not know right from wrong
But all I know is to take you along

Days seem so long




And nights sing this song
In Babylon
