Waiting for the Flood Love & Rockets Listen to the recording for the strumming patterns and don't forget to print out / view with a monospaced font. (Instrumental intro) Look at me, look at you Searching for the purest blue It's a thirst so hard to quench And we're waiting, and we're waiting, and we're waiting Occasional showers never drench Chorus of "We're waiting for the flood" sung eight times to: Take a glimpse behind the veil Set your sights upon the grail Then have it taken from your hands And you're waiting, and you're waiting, and you're waiting All your colors turn to pale (With Sax!) Seems all that we get here are showers Take a look at all the flowers Relying on the showers For their life's blood, for their life's blood, for their life's blood Bet that water sure tastes good Chorus of "We're waiting for the flood" sung to: ... & fade away
