Memories are flooding back tonight
Like something out of yesterday, blown away
Broken glass that cuts you like a knife

Reminds me how it used to be, when you were with me

And now I'm waiting for the rain

(Cos I'm burning like fire)
To wash away the tears
(You know how long I've been waiting)

Waiting for the time to be right
When you're lost in my eyes once again
Waiting for the rain


I may be in his arms tonight
I know he's somewhere else but here

That much is clear
And as he whispers out the light
I can tell for sure that no ones won

He's already gone

And now I'm waiting for the rain

(Cos I'm burning like fire)
To wash away the tears
(You know how long I've been waiting)

Waiting for the time to be right
When you're lost in my eyes once again
Waiting for the rain


And I know he won't be back again
As I watch him turn and walk away, away, away


I sometimes think of him at night
And hope that as the hours fly, some mem'ries die


Now I'm waiting for the rain
(Cos I'm burning like fire)

To wash away the tears
(You know how long I've been waiting)
Waiting for the time to be right

When you're lost in my eyes once again

Waiting for the rain

(Cos I'm burning like fire)
To wash away the tears
(You know how long I've been waiting)

Waiting for the time to be right
When you're lost in my eyes once again
Waiting for the rain
