| The rain is falling © Copyright George Papavgeris, April 2003 Two years you tried working on this land Nothing you could do to make it greener Two years of fields baking in the sun Two years of harvest turning into dust The loans to pay now your dream to sell you must Yet to succeed no-one could have been keener There's just enough grain left for one more try Your future now depends upon the sky Who said hard work alone would be enough Who said that simple toil is the solution Where was the smooth when all we had was rough When sweat alone the children wouldn't feed. To see your face so red my heart would bleed But now it seems we're given absolution For tools we only have two pairs of hands But now we have been given one more chance. First thing tomorrow together we will go To town to plead the loan to have extended The ring you gave me I gladly will forego If that is what it takes to keep them sweet I'll take in washing and even sweep the streets It's worth it, for our nightmare now has ended The worst that fate could send us we survived And in good time together we will thrive. The broken ploughshare to fix we can't afford So we will dig the fields with our own fingers And in the dirt, I the Lady, you the Lord Our kingdom we'll establish with our sweat And better times though will come, we won't forget The thirst and hunger in the soul that lingers But now it's time to heaven to give thanks Let's go out in the rain and have a dance. (Chorus) But the rain is falling, pitter-patter falling And its like we haven't seen for years And it keeps on falling, pitter-patter falling Let the rain now wash away your tears |
