I was doing alright Laying in and laying low I was wasting my night Calling in my favorite songs on the local radio I was standing in the window Staring down into the streets Just when the lightning flashed And the thunder rolled, and the telephone rings I'm waiting for a christchurch woman in the rain And the rain keep comin' But it ain't enough to cover the pain Now I've always been a fool For a conversation and a couple of smokes Yeah, and when I'm feeling this blue I just need someone to laugh at my jokes I'm waiting for a christchurch woman in the rain And it's early evening, so there's hope for a better day Now I know it's gettin' late It's Friday night and the crowds Are startin' to fade away I know I shouldn't be here waitin' on her But I keep thinking any second She'll be comin' round the corner And I should be in my room Man, I should learn how to forget Well, she may be pretty But someday I'll get sick of her shit I'm waiting for a christchurch woman in the rain Rain keep comin' but it ain't enough to cover the pain I'm waiting for a christchruch woman in the rain And it's early evening so there's hope for a better day
