Verse 2:

        Well the sky began to tremble
        The rain began to fall
        Four angels standing round me
        And it wasn't no social call
        The sky began to tremble
        The rain began to fall
        I fell down on my knees prayin'
        But it didn't do no good at all

[repeat chorus]
