A Lover's Prayer Songtext
von The Del-Lords

Yeah, ha ha, oh

I can′t sleep, who am I fooling?
I got a fever that ain't cooling
Lying awake, just thinking about my baby
I just watch the clock, tick tock, tick tock, tick tock
Oh the tears I can′t count on my baby

I'm on my knees (Lord, Lord)
Won't you listen to my plea? (Lord, Lord)
She′s on a trip across the sea (Lord, Lord)
Whether I′m alive any day
She's the only girl (Lord, Lord)
In this whole wide world (Lord, Lord)
One day my ring she′ll wear
Please bring her back from there
This is my lover's prayer


Fourteen long weeks
I′ve been crying myself to sleep
If I have to wait the whole eight
I will surely die
I can't stand no more
My baby′s on some distant shore
Lying in the sun having all kinds of fun
Without me, yeah

I'm on my knees (Lord, Lord)
Won't you listen to my plea? (Lord, Lord)
She′s on a trip across the sea (Lord, Lord)
Whether I′m alive any day
She's the only girl (Lord, Lord)
In this whole wide world (Lord, Lord)
One day my ring she′ll wear
Please bring her back from there
This is my lover's prayer

(Let me tell you about it)
Well, I′m alive any day
I think I'm going to be a ruination
They think I′ll take her by the hand
And walk her straight into eternal damnation, ha ha ha
So if her poor guy friends
They drag her on a damn vacation
Well, in the end
How could your true love always win? Yeah


Yeah, ha ha ha ha
Oh, here we go, here we go, here we go
Oh, ha ha ha
Oh, oh

I'm on my knees (Lord, Lord)
Won't you listen to my plea? (Lord, Lord)
She′s on a trip across the sea (Lord, Lord)
Whether I′m alive any day
She's the only girl (Lord, Lord)
In this whole wide world (Lord, Lord)
One day my ring she′ll wear
Please bring her back from there
This is my lover's prayer
I′m on my knees (Lord, Lord)
Won't you listen to my plea? (Lord, Lord)
She′s on a trip across the sea (Lord, Lord)
Whether I'm alive any day
She's the only girl (Lord, Lord)
In this whole wide world (Lord, Lord)
One day my ring she′ll wear
Please bring her back from there
This is my lover′s prayer
One day my ring she'll wear
Please bring her back from there
This is my lover′s prayer
Yeah
