I waited for you
You waited for me
That it seemed like, seemed like a mighty long time

Baby i had to have you
Oh, i had to have you
Come rain, rain or shine

It was a cold wind in august
Shivers up and down my spine
I was standin' in your garden
In the california pine

I was standing shivering
I've got the fever in the rain
But i can't come on back to see you
Again and again and again

I said i, i had to have you
Baby i had to have you
Come rain, come rain or shine

It was a cold wind in august
Shivers up and down my spine
And i was standing in your garden

In the california pine
California pine

(instrumental)

It was a cold wind in august
Shivers up and down my spine
I was standin' in your garden
In the california pine
In the california pine it was a cold wind in august
I was pushed on through september
Oh pushin' through september
In the rain
Pushin' through, pushin' through september
In the rain

Ooh
It was a cold wind in august
Shivers up and down my spine
I was standin' standin' in your garden
In the california pine
