RUNNING OUT OF PATIENCE AND COURAGE
HOLDING ON TO PAPER AND STEAM
TRY A LITTLE LONGER I WANT TO
BUT DRY IS DRY AND I NEED
A SPRINKLE OF THE WATER
STARTED WITH ENOUGH I WAS THINKING
WIDE-EYED OPTIMIST ME
BUT THE WIND'S STILL PUSHING AND I'M LEANING
AND NO GREEN AS FAR AS I CAN SEE
BENT BACK BLISTERED AND BURNING
A FACE I DON'T KNOW
BUT IT'S TRUE THAT WHAT I FOLLOW
IS JUST WHAT I HOLD
I'VE BEEN LOOKING FOR AN OASIS
IN THE MIDDLE OF THIS DESERT
ONCE I THOUGHT I SAW IT
BUT I REACHED AND THERE WAS SILENCE
SO OK I GET THE MESSAGE
IN THE MIDDLE OF THIS LAKE BED
BUT IT WON'T MATTER ANYWAY
IF IT DON'T RAIN
CHORUS: I'M GONNA GET BLOWN AWAY
IF IT DON'T RAIN
DRY UP AND BLOW AWAY
IF IT DON'T RAIN
HOW ROMANTIC THIS PASSION
HOW ROMANTIC THIS WAY
HOW ROMANTIC THIS PASSION
IF IT DON'T RAIN
