From the recording Love in the Apocalypse

Lyrics

Waiting for the Rain
 
Jason went out in the storm
His face already wet and worn
Crushed a flower in his hand
Dead and died a month ago
He was waiting for it
 
Waiting, waiting for the rain
Waiting for the clouds to come again
Waiting, waiting for the rain
Waiting for the wind to blow
So no one knows the pain
 
Alex stepped out in the sun
Wore a great big smile for everyone
Felt the ring drop from her hand
And all the love she'd saved for just one man
She was waiting for it
 
Waiting, waiting for the rain
Waiting for the clouds to come again
Waiting, waiting for the rain
Waiting for the wind to blow
So no one knows the pain
 
Now America's asleep
Fat and drowsy from too much to eat
And all the drugs no longer work
To kill the monumental hurt
We were waiting for it
 
Waiting, waiting for the rain
Waiting for the clouds to come again
Waiting, waiting for the rain
Waiting for the wind to blow
So no one knows the pain
The wind will blow
No one will know the pain
