When The Rain Doesn't Come

(album: Close To Seven - 1992)

A little fawn so far away
Rice fields everywhere
Seven children with the mom
And nobody else, they have to suffer

When the rain... When the rain doesn't come
When the rain... When the rain doesn't come

Johnny Lee, about fourteen
No child lie in her life
Knowing then she has to live
To save her family

When the rain... When the rain doesn't come
When the rain... When the rain doesn't come

When the rain... When the rain doesn't come
When the rain... When the rain doesn't come

Meal time is big time and Johnny is back
In the doorway stands Johnny Lee
Some guy has got to touch her
She close her eyes and think
"It has to be"
When the rain... When the rain doesn't come

Her will is stronger than her pride
She sell her body to let her family survive
Gone tell the child behind those eyes
Don't blame the situation

Even if there rain... If the rain doesn't come

Even if there rain... If the rain doesn't come

Even if there rain... If the rain doesn't come

Even if there rain... If the rain doesn't come
