A Good Rain

(الألبوم: Walking The Wire - 1992)

He is a farmer, that's what he likes to do
So was his father and his grand-dad too
He looks out on his fields and all the work he's done
Curses his luck and the unrelenting sun

His wife comes to his side and says
Hold on, we've seen tougher times

All we need is a good rain
And the troubles of this world will all wash away
We can start again with help from the heavens
All we need is a good rain

He got a notice, ninety days past due
Bankers used to be folks you could talk to
Now it's all profit and can you pay on time
No room for dreaming above the borderline

She says, come on back inside
You can do any more than I

All we need is a good rain
And the troubles of this world will all wash away
We can start again with help from the heavens
All we need is a good rain

Midnight, dark clouds hide the moon
And he cries as he hears God's tears hit the roof

All we need is a good rain
And the troubles of this world will all wash away
We can start again with help from the heavens
All we need is a good rain
