When the ground drives like sand And you're losing it from both hands When you're flowering is denied, you're Waiting for rain, waiting for rain
When your staging has had its day Just indulging in shadow play And your players need time to grow, you're Waiting for rain, waiting for rain
When the sun finds your hiding place And the heat of it smacks your face When you're losing your weather eye, you're Waiting for rain, waiting for rain
If your surroundings are watertight Got too blase to excite It's no real use to be Waiting for rain
When the ground drives like sand And you're losing it from both hands When you're flowering is denied, you're Waiting for rain, waiting for rain
When your staging has had its day Just indulging in shadow play And your players need time to grow, you're Waiting for rain, waiting for rain
When the sun finds your hiding place And the heat of it smacks your face When you're losing your weather eye, you're Waiting for rain, waiting for rain
If your surroundings are watertight Got too blase to excite It's no real use to be Waiting for rain
