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