The Gone Jackals — No Sign Of Rain lyrics

Lyrics

Autumn’s come
And the leaves are looking brown and dry
Sun swings low
A fruit resists the thirsty ground
Uselessly
I try to coax a cloud or two
Searching the skies
Knowing there ain’t nothing left to do Summer’s turned to gold
My garden’s tired and old
The dust swirls round my bowl
And still, no sign of rain
Faithfully
I’ve tended to my patch of land
Year by year
I’ve scratched to keep my humble clan
Now and then
Some thunderheads come out of the blue
Trouble is They’ve always been too far and few
Summer’s turned to fall
The air is thick and cold
I feel it in my bones
But still, no sign of rain
Silence shades my lonely claim
Though all is gold
There is no rain
Still, I hear my singing bones
And I believe
Rain will fall
