Waititng 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
