From the recording Waiting for the Rain
Lyrics
Waiting For the Rain words and music Zerafina Zara
Streets shimmer in the haze now
My throat is dry right through
Dust burns on the pavement
Cloudless skies bring more bad news
And I wait, for the rain, and I wait for the rain
Fill me up, soak me through, wash this grit from my skin, make me new
Fill my cup, dissolve this room
Make me grateful for the thirst I have anew
Make me grateful for the thirst I have anew
And I wait, for the rain, and I wait for the rain
Yes I do
My body is aching
Give me just a drop or two
The dry ground is breaking
Cloudless skies stretch on in blue
And I wait for the rain and I wait for the rain
Fill me up, soak me through, wash this grit from my skin, make me new
Fill my cup, dissolve this room
Make me grateful for the thirst I have anew
Make me grateful for the thirst I have anew
Oh halelu
Let it rain
Fall right through
Melt this dust into mud, make the desert bloom
Fill my cup, dissolve this room
Make me grateful for the thirst I have anew
Make me grateful for the thirst I have anew
And I wait for the rain
And I wait for the rain
And I’m waiting, waiting for the rain
