In a desert
You're standing
A silhouette
In motion

On those lonely afternoons in June I need you
Just like raindrops (just like raindrops)
You'll feel so good upon my lips
Just like raindrops (just like raindrops)
Even though you're a million miles away

There's a space out there
And then when we can move

On those lonely afternoons in June I need you
Just like raindrops (just like raindrops)
You'll feel so good upon my lips
Just like raindrops (just like raindrops)
Even though you're a million miles away
Just like raindrops (just like raindrops)
You feel so good upon my lips
Just like raindrops (just like raindrops)
Even though you're a million miles away

You taste so great, on my lips
You taste so good, on my lips
Your moisture drips upon my lips
Just like a waterfall straight through the heart of me

Raindrops
Raindrops
Raindrops, raindrops
Raindrops, raindrops
Raindrops, raindrops

Just like raindrops (just like raindrops)
You'll feel so good upon my lips
Just like raindrops (just like raindrops)
Even though you're a million miles away
Just like raindrops (just like raindrops)
You'll feel so good upon my lips
Just like raindrops (just like raindrops)
Even though you're a million miles away

When I want you, I'll follow you
I'll follow you
When I want you, I'll follow you
I'll follow you
