Lyrics

It hasn't rained for a thousand years or so
Oh, and it won't, for a thousand years or more
I sit in the blazing heat and I long for a song
Now even more, now even more
When does the storm come?
Wash it away?
Today, please, I can't sleep
I haven't seen a world like this before
Not in a dream, nor a thousand dreams before
I sit in the blazing heat and I long for a song
Now even more, now even more
When does the storm come?
Wash it away?
I will take you for a ride
In the middle of the night
Oh, I will lay down here and sleep
I will take you for a ride
In the middle of the night
Oh, I will lay down here and sleep
When does the storm come and wash it away?
When does the storm come and wash it away?
Today please, I can't sleep
