歌曲:Heavy Cloud No Rain
(Live At Irving Plaza,
2011 Remix)
Turned on the weather man
just after the news
I needed sweet rain to
wash away my blues
He looked at the chart
but he look in vain
Heavy cloud but no rain
Back in time
with Louis XVI
At the court of the people
he was number one
He'd be the bluest blood
they'd ever seen
When the king said
hi to the guillotine
The royal astrologer
was run out of breath
He thought that maybe the rain
would postpone his death
He look in sky
but he look in vain
Heavy cloud but no rain
Well the land was cracking
and the river was dry
All the crops were dying
when they ought to be high
So to save his farm
from the banker's draft
The farmer took out a book
on some old witchcraft
He made a spell
and a potion on a
midsummer's night
He killed a brindled calf
in the pale moonlight
He prayed to the sky
but he prayed in vain
Heavy cloud but no rain
Heavy cloud but no rain
The sun won't shine
till the clouds are gone
The clouds won't go
till their work is done
And every morning
you'll hear me pray
If only it would rain today
I asked my baby
if there'd be some way
She said she'd
save her love for a rainy day
I look in the sky
but I look in vain
Heavy cloud but no rain
Heavy cloud but no rain
Heavy cloud but no rain
