bill morrissey - waiting for the rain lyrics

Loading...

[verse 1]
in the middle of the summer, in the middle of the day
they hear the storm clouds rumble as they’re headed their way
there was work to do they both forgot
it was like the world’s never been anything but hot
if he could find the words for her, he could explain
but they just sit on the front porch waiting for the rain

[verse 2]
it gets dark and quiet and it turns so still
she drinks and drinks but can’t get her fill
she sets the water glass down on her thighs
and just stares at it with her crazy eyes
as the bottom of the glass makes a tiny, round stain
it’s just a hot day in the country and they’re waiting for the rain

[verse 3]
the temperature rises and it will not fall
and she’s so still she’s not there at all
he leaves the porch for just one minute
comes back and his hand’s got a .410 in it
she smiles at him as he looks out on the plain
but there’s nothing to shoot and he’s just waiting for the rain

[verse 4]
nothing left to do now, nothing left to save
when the brown grass crumbles, ain’t n0body brave
all things come to the patient man
when they come too late, n0body understands
now the heat just wraps around him like a chain
he breaks the shotgun open as they’re waiting for the rain
[guitar solo]

[verse 5]
then the wind returns and the sky goes black
she can feel the muscles in her jaw go slack
the wind blows warm into her face
ain’t no reason now to ever leave this place
she thinks it’s only heat, it is not pain
as lightning strikes the reaper, they’re just waiting for the rain

[verse 6]
smoke in the distance the color of the clouds
thunder overhead breaks wild and loud
fire from the reaper runs through the drought
the sky starts the fire, let the sky put it out
he slips two sh+lls in the gun and calls her name
and it’s all about to happen, they’re just waiting for the rain
