Another Rain Has Fallen

(album: Not Till Tomorrow - 1972)

Another rain has fallen
And I am the ploughman
And I love the rain
And another rain has fallen
And I am the ploughman
And I love the rain

For the rain will soften all my ground
And make the plough cut perfectly
The earth is ready for the seed
And a little rain is all I need

And another rain has fallen
And I am the sower
And I love the rain
And another rain has fallen
And I am the sower
And I need the rain

For the rain will make the seed to burst
Begin its life and take firm root
To grow the crop to swell the grain
It must have a little rain

Another rain has fallen
And I am the reaper
And I watch the sky
For another rain might fall
And I am the reaper
I must watch for rain

For now I really need the sun
To reap my good crop that has grown
If the rain falls now my crop is lost
And I'd be left to count the cost

Of another rain falling
And I am the lover
My tears like rain
And another tear has fallen
And I am the lover
And I have cried again

And I have ploughed, and I have sown
I have guarded, I have loved
And like the farmer I must blame
My gamble cost and loss
On another rain
