Kiss the Rain

Lost and wandering through the desert sands
Each footstep brings a sense of pain
Every time I see a fresh oasis
It's a mirage playing tricks upon my brain

Desolation steeped in loneliness
Is a sensation that I disdain
I drop down on my knees and pray
In a self-loathing refrain

The hope of future pleasantness
Keeps me from going totally insane
I dream of cloud bursts springing forth
In which I kiss the rain
