Ralph McTell — Another Rain Has Fallen

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 And 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 its 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 And 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
