Waiting for Rain
Peter Mealy

Waiting for rain
and I have nothing new to say
I'm just delivering a message from my heart
Playing a game
Cutting a deck before I call
Drawing a queen from every suit before I start
Waiting for rain
Waiting for skies to thunder
Waiting to start again
I never complain
I only make my choices
Choose every word and wonder what you're going to say
Let me explain
And if you have half a mind to hear
Open the door and send the other half away
Waiting for rain
Waiting for skies to thunder
Waiting to start again
I step inside when the cold wind blows
Look for a light inside your door
The river decides who will sink or float
And I'm standing on the shore

Waiting for rain
And I'm as impatient as a child
Wondering why and wanting everything too soon
Waiting for rain
And I have nothing left to say
Do you hear me when I'm howling at the moon
End of the game
Drawing the queen of hearts again
Beginning to rain so hard
Collapse this house of cards
Open up the sky
I see the diamonds in your eyes
