Drought

Daylight comes and I'm still thirsty

Though I've drank the ocean dryWander barefoot on the sea bed

I still hear the sirens cryI feel the earth cracks underfoot

As if my pain is understoodAnd the peeling glows still like holes

One's for sorrow two for goodStumble to my knees

Bagging for the drought to easeI call on the rain

Call on the rain

Call on the rain

Call on the rainI my sleep I dream of rivers

Rapids wash the salt away

But these lips are dry as deserts

Left to simmer in the dayStumble to my knees

Bagging for the drought to easeI call on the rain

Call on the rain

Call on the rain

Call on the rain
