lyrics

Sunrise, daylight,
Eyes wide, so bright,
This could be the day.
Sensing, feeling,
Plotting, scheming.
Today could be the day.
I have seen it in my dreams,
I can feel it in my bones, oh.

High time, noon time,
This could be my time,
Sun climbs high in the sky
Watching, waiting
Always praying,
For the first and only sign.
Oh, this silence always screams,
An emptiness that always leaves me lonely.

I hear the deep call
I hear the low roll
Tremor through my fault line.
Sensation mounting,
Electric and counting,
Flashes on the skyline.
Where's my man?
Here comes my man!

On the horizon
A monster arriving
Hear my Prayers for Rain.
Bring me the best-us
Cumulonimbus
Hear my Prayers for Rain.

Boredom, dying,
Mouth dry, starving,
Another day goes by.
Knees hurt, praying,
Heavens keep saying,
I'll be waiting, I'll be waiting
For a thousand years...

I have done my time again,
Patience, a virtue in vain.
It's over.

I refuse virtue,
Give me what I'm due,
Reset the equation.
Assemble the black clouds,
A mighty clap so loud.
Hear my declaration.
Where's my man?
Here comes my man!

On the horizon,
A monster arriving,
Hear my Prayers for Rain.
Bring me the best-us
Cumulonimbus,
Hear my Prayers for Rain.

about

Barbara Marion London, UK

An acoustic balladeer, Barbara Marion happily sits on the fence between genres, giving a salute to Americana, a wave to the lounge music of the 40s & 50s and a nod to jazz. The result
is Easy Listening with Attitude – Babs' own, self described genre. It is a classic sound that captures a spectrum of influences ranging from Kirsty MacCall to Julie London, to the folk balladry of Luke Kelly.
