Oh search the places I have been To understand this sorry state I’m in The only answers I could find got lost in my tiny mind Somewhere so many years ago And oh my Lord, I can’t believe All the crimes that are accused of me And now my memory’s all shot Don’t know if I’m guilty or if I’m not Still I try to clear my name Well, all I can do is wait and see If sweet salvation will come and rescue me And all this weary flesh and bones I still walk this path alone Waiting for a storm Well, I'’ve heard it often said There’s only one sure thing So I’ll brace against the storm But I’ll be hoping, I will be hoping That the springtime will come Maybe the sky above will break Now I’m hanging on for pure survival’s sake? So ashamed of what I'’ve done And I’m scared of what’s to come So I’ll be waiting for a storm Well, I’'ve heard it often said There’s only one sure thing So I’ll brace against the storm But I’ll be hoping, I will be hoping That the springtime will come I’ll be the one to take the fall For all these sorry sons of bitches all And clutching at the shortest straw A martyr without a cause Just waiting for a storm Oh no All this weary flesh and bone I still walk this path alone Just waiting for a storm
