Expecting Rain

I wish, I wish, I wish in vain
That we could sit simply in that room again
Ten thousand dollars at the drop of a hat
I'd give it all gladly if our lives could be like that.

The best is always yet to come
That's what they explain to me
Just do your thing, you'll be king

...and your the queen!

Won't you come see me, Queen?

Queen Anne Lace?

^
...I could stay with you forever
And never realize the time.

Time is an ocean but it ends at the shore.
You will not see me tomorrow.

Time is a jet plane, it moves too fast

And tomorrow is a long time.

But I was so much older then, I'm younger than that now

You're a big girl now.

But you break just like a little girl

She could be respectably married or running a whorehouse in Buenos Aires.
I see the burning of the cage
Curtain risin' on a new stage

But there was no actor anywhere quite like the Jack of Hearts

When I saw you break down in front of the judge and cry real tears,
It was the best acting I saw anybody do.

The judge is holding a grudge, and he's about to call on you. He's badly built, and he walks on stilts --- watch out he don't fall on you!

Just then a bolt of lightning struck the courthouse out of shape
And while ev’rybody knelt to pray the drifter did escape.

If dogs run free, then why not we

I want ev’rybody to be free

This time I’m asking for freedom, freedom from a world which you deny.
And you’ll give it to me now, I’ll take it anyhow
When the night comes falling from the sky

and but for the sky there are no fences faceing?

If I had some education
To give me a decent start
I might have been a doctor or
A master in the arts

I’m a doctor and it’s true
I’m a clean-cut kid
And I been to college, too

I ain’t lookin’ to compete with you

you let go of my gland, and left me here facing the wall! (my bud, I mean bad)
