Another Rain Has Fallen

Another Rain Has Fallen - Ralph McTell

Another rain has fallen and I am the ploughman and I love the rain

And another rain has fallen and I am the ploughman and I love the rain

For the rain will soften all my ground

And make the plough cut perfectly

The earth is ready for the seed

A little rain is all I need

And another rain has fallen and I am the sower and I love the rain

And another rain has fallen and I am the sower and I need the rain

For the rain will make the seed to burst

Begin it's life and take firm root

To grow the crop to swell the grain

It must have a little rain

Another rain has fallen and I am the reaper and I watch the sky

For another rain might fall and I am the reaper I must watch for rain

For now I really need the sun

To reap my good crop that has grown

If the rain falls now my crop is lost

And I'd be left to count the cost

Of another rain falling and I am the lover my tears like rain

For another tear has fallen and I am the lover and I have cried again

And I have ploughed and I have sown

I have guarded I have loved

And like the farmer I must blame my gamble cost and loss

On another rain
