Waiting For The Rain

You and me are fire and roses driftin' on a careless sea
Before the final chapter closes, whisper how it has to be
Cover me in sheets of glory, let me see those nerves of steel
Will it be the same old story, is there something new revealed
Does it come with a sad refrain, does it fall like endless rain
We all love in vain
Tie me up in silk and wire, kiss me while you shine the blade
Did it take you any higher, how long till the moment fades
Does it come with a sad refrain, does it fall like endless rain
Comin' down again
Waitin' for the rain comin' down again
We all love in vain
(J. Camilleri N. Smith — Rondor Warner Chappell)
