Waiting for the Rain - Philip Bailey & Phil Collins

There's a driveway and a brick mailbox An empty house with a broken clock And a water bill that's way past due The flowers can't push through the dirt Since the factories left town with the work But hey, that ain't nothing new So I, I'm waiting on the rain Wasting all the hours in my day Been dry for all these years Ain't nothing left round here And I, I'm waiting on the rain Preacher man He came to town He said If you lay your money down Well, I can help you wash away your sins A holy man knows how to lie And a soldier still knows how to die and me I just wanna know how it ends So I, I'm waiting on the rain Wasting all the hours in my day Been dry for all these years Ain't nothing left round here And I, I'm waiting on the rain And I, I'm waiting on the rain I don't mind the sun No, I, I don't mind the sun No, I, I don't mind the sun When it's for everyone And I, I'm waiting on the rain Wasting all the hours in my day Been dry for all these years Ain't nothing left round here And I, I'm waiting on the rain The end of times is coming soon But all that's in this empty room Is the last thing that I said So fill the taxi to the top You know we ain't got time to stop Cause there's mouths that need fed

Waiting for the aliens, hanging out in Roswell I sit outside and stare at the sky And wonder when they're coming Waiting for the aliens, and according to statistics A hundred guys might get a ride Tonight it could be my turn Beam me up, I want to be abducted tonight Beam me up, I'm not afraid to fly that high Beam me up, I want to be abducted tonight And I was wondering before you take me home again Could I fly your ship, I wanna fly your ship Fly your ship, I wanna fly your ship One time around the sun, one time around the moon One time around the Earth, stars, Venus and Mars Baby I'll be home soon Waiting for the aliens, I've seen all the movies I'm so prepared to go up there I know they're gonna choose me Waiting for the aliens, packing my possessions When I get my place in outer space You can say you knew me Beam me up, I want to be abducted tonight Beam me up, I'm not afraid to fly that high Beam me up, I want to be abducted tonight And I was wondering before you take me home again Could I fly your ship, I wanna fly your ship Fly your ship, I wanna fly your ship One time around the sun, one time around the moon One time around the Earth, stars, Venus and Mars Baby I'll be home soon I bet they'll have a lot of questions & maybe some suggestions I bet they're gonna ask me about man's insanity "You've got a real nice planet here, But you better watch your atmosphere And you better clean your waters up, or have none for your cup" Beam me up

You are the thunder You're the lightning up above I call your name out Woman, you want love And when I touch you I see heaven in your eyes And when I kiss you There's a storm rising within me Woman, stay, show me the way Into your heart, light up the dark I've always dreamed Of the love that you bring Oh woman, stay, don't turn me away You're the angel of light Who leaves in the night, but I need you Can't you see, I love you woman? You are the fire You are the wind that turns my heart You are the sunlight Shining beauty in the dark And when I saw you I felt your power in my soul And when you touched me I knew I had lost control Woman, stay, show me the way Into your heart, light up the dark I've always dreamed Of the love that you bring Oh woman, stay, don't turn me away You're the angel of light Who leaves in the night, but I need you Can't you see, I love you woman? But you are the fire You are the wind You are the sunlight I need you [Incomprehensible] Now I know Heaven sent you from above You are woman You were sent for me to love Woman, stay but you'll go away Now my eyes can see All the love that I need For the first time I can believe in woman I can believe in woman I need you by my side You are the flower, you are the rain You bring me sunlight You bring me pain, woman

I thought I'd never see the day When you'd up and walk way Now you're leaving There is no doubt Life is full of passion Caviar and fashion Go, go out and play Hopes and dreams are in the past We can't ever bring them back What was once will never be Time's run out for you and me You'll find lots of takers Instant moviemakers, waiting for you Go, gor whatever reason Go, it's the time and season You have to do whatever's right Oh oh go, for the fame and fortune Go, if it's that important You have to find it your own way You'll find lots of takers Instant moviemakers, waiting for you
