Take The Pain Away Lyrics

Standing alone, by the open door, watching the rain pouring down

You can smell, damp cut grass, hear the whistle of the trains

Louisiana in the winter time. Feel the blues take you down

When pain, comes along, it hits you like a runaway train

Slams into you, knocks you down, stomp you into the ground

Take the pain away, take the pain away

Now and then, sweet, sweet, relieve, comes my way

Lifts me up, washes away the pain, for a short while

I'm free, chains broken, escape from the blues

When pain, comes along, it hits you like a runaway train

Slams into you, knocks you down, stomp you into the ground

Take the pain away, take the pain away

On the Bayou, the heat, sucks us dry, it has no mercy

It has its own, special pain, ready to bring you down

The shape of pain, is all around, and its colour blind

When pain, comes along, it hits you like a runaway train

Slams into you, knocks you down, stomp you into the ground

Take the pain away, take the pain away
