Lyrics Wait For The Rain - Amy Helm

Steady darlin'
Tread softly around me, baby
You might bring the light of day
But I'm uneasy

Steady darlin'
How do I keep my place?
Fill up this empty space
With clouds and dreaming

I just had to wait for the rain
Roses are slow to grow back again
Just had to wait for the rain
To fall like a memory, hey

Oh, desire, desire kissed us
Through the edge of my window pane
The light on my baby's face
We were barely breathing

The clouds they lift up
Winter's lonely tale
The Sisters of Mercy avail
But I don't need them anymore

Well I just had to wait for the rain (oh)
Roses are slow to grow back again (oh)
Just had to wait for the rain
To fall like a memory, hey

Yeah, I just had to wait for the rain (oh)
Roses are slow to grow back again (oh)
Just had to wait for the rain
To fall like a memory

Fall, fall, fall
Fall, fall, fall

Well I just had to wait for the rain
(Just had to wait for the rain)
Roses are slow to grow back again
(Roses are slow to grow back again)
Just had to wait for the rain
(Just had to wait for the rain)
To fall like a memory

Fall, fall, fall (hey)
Fall, fall, fall (hey)
