Waiting for the Rain

I have no more sense of longing, I have only come to doubt
The scenes of love I always dreamed were true
But it's love that keeps me guessing
And love keeps me confessing
That I can't take my mind away from you

Waiting for the Rain
will it ever be the same
in memory and pain
Waiting for the Rain

I was dreaming of an island about a million years ago
Where the women held the fire in their hands
But war they say is endless
And armies are defenseless
Against the limitations in the minds of men

Waiting for the rain, will it ever be the same
In memory and pain, waiting for the rain

When I saw you for the first time I knew I'd not forget
The grace with which you moved across the sand
You're running with your shoes off where the winds have turned to grass
And all I want is to take you by the hand

Love tonight and rain today
If only it could be this way
Deliverance is far away
Patience is the time you pay

Waiting for the rain, will it ever be the same
In memory and pain, waiting for the rain

Waiting for the rain, in memory and pain
Will it ever be the same?
Waiting for the Rain

The chorus and all the music to this song have been in my stack for years, but I didn't get the verses right until Januray 2008. It turned out to be the standout track among a set of piano/vocals recorded November 08 collectively entitled "You Must Be Joking".
