The Rain

I'm waiting for the rain
I'm waiting in vain
How do they manage
To resist the sun?
How do they manage
To resist its heat?
I'm waiting for the rain

I'm waiting for the rain
Again and again
How can I talk now -
My mouth is dry
I've got no tears left
Tears to cry
I'm waiting for the rain

I'm waiting for the rain
But everything's the same
There are no clouds
There is no rain
This waiting business
Is an endless game
I'm waiting for the rain

One way or another
