Every Beat Of My Heart

I met her in a little French cafe
Legs like a young giraffe
She was sitting reading Baudelaire
Not exactly working class

She had a studio in St. Michel
Crucifix around her waist
Che Guevara all over the wall
She can't stand the sun on her face

Hey boys, what a look
Stop a train at fifty feet
Matching hair, matching clothes and eyes
Kinda like a tiger in heat
Red hot in black
Red hot in black

Revolution running through her veins
A radical from head to toe
The only record that she ever played
Was "just like a rolling stone"

We started talking by the candlelight
Her lips get closer to mine
We started dancing all around the room
Helped by a bottle of wine

Hey boys, mystery
Didn't even know her name
One night in Paris, with a girl like that
Never going home again
Red hot in black
Red hot in black

Oh my, when I woke up
She'd already gone out to her work
My head was aching and my back was scratched
I've never, never, never known a night like that

Took a walk along the avenue
So in love and so confused
My plane was leaving in half an hour
What would you have done in my shoes?

Hey boys, so you see
Couldn't get her outa my head
My regards to the folks back home
Gonna spend some time with red
Red hot in black
Red hot in black

On a hot summer's night

(R. Stewart, K. Savigar, J. Davis)

Well I arrived on time
My courduroy suit and me bottle of wine
There were women wall to wall

I told you once I'm a jealous man
But you never want to listen to who I am
We're divided, completely out of touch
I guess that's why we seem to fight so much

Believe me darling this ain't no game
If you think I'll be your fool

The wind cries on the boardwalk
Oh God, it's cold tonight
Somewhere in the city
Someone's holding her tight

He's telling her she's beautiful
Touching her long blond hair
He's found out all the secrets
We swore we'd never share

Oh, it drives me crazy
To think of her with him
Come back, baby
Come back home again

Chorus:
Ten days of rain
Ten days of rain
My heart is filled with pain
Will she ever come back again?
Ten days of rain

She said I'm tired of talking
Trying to get it through to you
You never tell me you love me
That's all I want you to do

I thought we had a future
Something to hold on to
We even talked of children
Something I never do

She loved me like no other
She held me like a child
Come back baby, come back home again

Chorus

The thought of her still haunts me
Her voice is everywhere
Ten days of rain
Ten days of rain

I can hear the freight train whistle
I can hear the church bells toll
But telephone line, when it's off the hook
That's the loneliest sound of 'em all

In the letter that she wrote me
Before she went away
She said darling, always remember
Love ain't a hard word to say

Ten days of rain
Ten days of rain, such pain
Will she ever come back again
I don't know, I don't know
Come back baby, I'm so lonely baby
Ten days of rain, ten days of rain
Is it raining all, raining all
Raining all over this world
