Louis Johnson Standing At the Crossroads lyrics

Well I'm standin' at the crossroads
With the rain pouring down
The middle of my life has come upon me
Well if I kneel to pray Lord, I might drown
And I don't know how this happened
All them years, they've come and gone
‘Till I'm standin' down at the crossroads
In the rain before the dawn
Oh rain keep on fallin'
Wash away my salty tears
Won't you wash away my sorrow
It has robbed my joy for years

Rain down peace
Joy and laughter
Please before my time has come
And make me ready for some true love
All I'm asking is for just one

Cause all my life I've roamed and rambled
Down hard highways and rails of steel
I've never found no love in empty box cars
No comfort in the steady drivin' wheels


Then one night deep in the southland
I stepped off that rollin' train
And as I walked down to the crossroads
With the sunrise came the rain

So rain keep on fallin'
And wash away my salty tears
Won't you wash away my sorrow
It has robbed my joy for years

Rain down peace
Joy and laughter
Please before my time has come
Make me ready for some true love
All I'm asking is for just one

Oh make me ready for some true love
All I'm asking is for just one
