why, oh, why do I have to wait?
everybody's sure that the weather will be great
but I'm stuck inside watching television
looking at pictures of. . . rain

I can't wait for the raincoat, I gotta put it on
everybody's sure that somewhere I went wrong
I'll show them those are genuine clouds floating in the sky
now the clouds are breaking
ooh, this storm is taking a long time

and I never felt so free
I never felt so free before

feel the yellow slicker, it's pressed against your skin
hold it to you closer as you walk into the wind, protected
everybody's jealous, inside you're warm and dry
skipping over puddles, there will be no others tonight

and I never felt so high
God gave me knowledge that was right tonight

feel the yellow slicker, it's pressed against your skin
I'm out here on the front porch and I'm begging to come in
you've got to hold it to me closer, inside you're warm and dry
skipping over puddles, there will be no others tonight

and I never felt so free
(yea) I never felt so free before
