lyrics

A long time without rain
Can break a man's heart
Isn't it strange to see
Water falling from his eyes
Just because nothing fell from the skies

Only a farmer knows the pain of the dry
Dust on the earth, the mountains and the sky

But cheer up farmer
It will rain before long
Keep your chin up
You are growing us strong
I hear all your cries
Only a farmer knows the pain of the dry
Of the dry
Of the dry
Of the dry

Play for him again
That tune upon the tin
Isn't it hard to see
All the life you put in
Carried off on the gentlest wind

Only a farmer knows the pain of the dry
Dust on the earth, the mountains and the sky
And the sky

But cheer up farmer
It will rain before long
And keep your chin up
You are growing us strong
I hear all your cries
Only a farmer knows the pain of the dry
Of the dry
Of the dry
Of the dry
Of the dry
Of the dry

You were on your last legs
And he broke his back to feed you
Farmer don't give up just yet
They don't know you but they need you
Hear the rumbling cathedral
In the sky above your head
Look up
I see a rain cloud up ahead

So cheer up farmer
It will rain before long
And keep your chin up
You are growing us strong
I hear all your cries
Only a farmer knows the pain of the dry
Of the dry
Of the dry
Of the dry
Of the dry
Of the dry
