There's a black wind blowing around my door it's madness to go out there i know
But i've got to get back to my baby's bed before i get rest my troubled head
It's been raining now for forty days for forty days and for forty nights
The rivers are bursting at their seams can anybody tell me what this means
Can anybody tell me what this means?
Now i'm driving home through the wind and the rain i got to get back to my girl again
I can see a blue light in my rear view mirror
I put my foot to the floor and watch him disappear

I got the feeling there was something wrong when i got home and she had gone
She didn't leave a note or a forwarding address the locks had been broken and the place was a mess

A neighbour said that she left in a hurry when a man in a suit came demanding money
He was chasing up a debt that had never been paid he put my girl in his car and he drove her away

I'm no saint but i do believe it's wrong to lie and to cheat and steal
He's taken what's mine now i want it back and that's not a lie mister that's a fact

Now i'm sat here behind these prison bars with a clear conscience and a heavy heart
I'll be sitting here till my days are through because he paid that price for hurting you
And i'm paying the price for loving you
