lyrics

Summer season - should enjoy; Heat and hair - girl meets boy.
Cotton clouds - no shade of grey. Bees and birds - caraway.
Summer season - time and truth; woodland path - lasting youth.
Lawn and border - tray of tea. Hedge and hawthorn - rosemary.

But sitting on the edge of the party, I can feel the coming storm.
Waiting for the rain, waiting for the rain, waiting for the rain to fall.

Autumn season - stiller now. Mist on field - field and cow.
Leaves and gold - golden sun. Terracotta - tarragon.
Indian summer - when to end? Coming quickly - round the bend?
Open window - music spun. All burnt umber - cinnamon.

But standing by the whitewashed pavilion, I can feel the coming chill.
Waiting for the rain, waiting for the rain, waiting for the rain to spill.
Waiting for the reaper to find me, his last unharvested sheaf.
Waiting for the blade, waiting for the rain, waiting for the blade to fall.

Faster now - the falling leaves. Chill of winter - dreary eves.
Whistle hopeful - pretend fun. Leaf in gutter - skeleton.
Waiting for the lightening to strike me. For the pain and loss of love.
I am waiting for the rain, waiting for the rain, waiting for the rain from above.
