Rain Delay

from The Window Seat II by Adam Reczek

lyrics

I was standing sideways on the corner of the street my friend
And I had told the sheriff I was waiting on the world to end
He told me I was crazy, that I was cracking up
And I knew I couldn’t stop it 'til she had had enough

We were lying in the crosswalk counting people as they passed
And you looked at me and asked me how long I thought we could last
I looked around and I could see that no one else had noticed me
And I told you I was sorry, but I’m not the one to ask

You were flying in the atmosphere; somewhere far away but far too near
And it looked like you were listening for something you just couldn’t hear
You came back down and you had found that I waiting on the ground
And I was only wondering if you had heard the sound

I can’t bring myself to wonder how it got to be this way
Maybe we were only waiting on the rain delay
Well the cards are on the table and I’m hoping for a royal flush
But I do believe that a perfect hand just may be asking for too much

And we can save the city on a sunny day
We were only waiting on the rain delay
We can get the world back on their feet again some day
We were only waiting on the rain delay

Is there anybody out there who will try to play the game?
Or is there anybody listening who even feels the same?
You’ve got to rise up in the right direction and let your brother do the same
You gotta let ‘em know where you are standing and take a little of the blame

I said, “The stakes are high and the price is low” but I don’t really know how the saying goes
And it’s the right time to look around baby maybe you can see what we have chosen
I know you’ve always loved the summer, but you’re shooting up a lethal dose
And this just ain’t the type of problem you can cool down with garden hose

And we can save the city on a sunny day
We were only waiting on the rain delay
We can get the world back on their feet again some day
We were only waiting on the rain delay

Let it rain, come on and let it rain
It is snowing on the mountain top
A little rain coming
It is snowing on the mountain top
I don't think that I want it to stop
A little rain delay

We were only waiting on the rain delay
