Waiting for the love of the lord
In the vestibule of the chancery
Reeling with the burden of God
Like a busted mule in its misery
Footsteps coming falling like drops
On the polished floor like a promised rain
Standing like a shivering dog
Who's been whipped so long he don't need no chain
It's just like the rain
It's just like the rain
A moment of sorrow then we brighten again
It's just like the rain
It's just like the rain
Ain't no escape when it starts falling
Again and again and again and again and again
Crying on the courthouse steps
Out of control out of your skin
Who can tell the secrets he knows
Who can believe who knows the sin
Justice isn't shelter it's shame
Opened up to the world like a roofless asylum
Besides it's just a small indiscretion
Plain vanilla they say shouldn't rile em
It's just like the rain
It's just like the rain
A moment of sorrow then we brighten again
It's just like the rain
It's just like the rain
Ain't no escape when it starts falling
Standing like a pillar of salt
In the vestibule of the chancery
That's where you'll always be
