lyrics

I been living out here in the desert
And I am dry as a stone
I been hoping for a little relief
Someone to throw me a bone
Whichever way the wind does blow
Hey weather man and your weather vane
Hope’s a-comin’ to this parched ol’ world
We’re expecting rain

Come on down, come on down
Rain down on me
Come on down, come on down
Wash me out to sea

I’m as thirsty as a dry old road
I could use a little drink
Who out here will fill my cup
Before I shrivel and shrink
My skin’s as red as a turkey-cock
I’m as hot as Bahrain
But hope’s a-comin’ to this parched ol’ world
We’re expecting rain

My throat’s as dusty grandma’s attic
Wish I could slake my thirst
I lap my water right out of the gutter
Is there anything worse
What do I see outside my window
As I survey the terrain
Hope’s a-comin’ to this parched ol’ world
We’re expecting rain
