Expecting the rain Dear Mary I still picture you there High summer Swifts in the air Now the wind's from the east There's no sleep, no peace In the usual hope of a feast Sits a wolf at our door Dear Mary Tell me where they start Which is quicker to the head or the heart Now they're calling time Drain the bottle dry And try to forget for tonight, love of mine Everything is harder now Every sky grows darker now All of me is aching All of me is shamed Everything is harder now Every sky grows darker now All of me is hoping for the sun Expecting the rain Dear Mary, we were fools to begin Should have known dear We never could win Help me to my feet I hear singing on the street And If I stand I'll dance Love of mine Everything is harder now Every sky grows darker now All of me is aching All of me is changed Everything is harder now Every sky grows darker now All of me is hoping for sun Expecting the rain And I see shadows Thrown by lightning and they flicker And they're gone I see shadows thrown by lightning And the shape of the beast In the coming storm Dear Mary They'll come for us soon Take my hand dear Spin me round this bare room The music won't stop We'll sing it till we drop It's just a short drop I'm expecting the rain I know nothing will change Mother here comes the rain I know nothing will change Mother here comes the rain I'm expecting the rain Noone's gonna be saved Brother here comes the rain Mary here comes the rain
