Gone Jackals - No Sign of Rain Lyrics

Autumn s come

And the leaves are lookin brown and dry.

Sun swings low,

A fruit resists the thirsty ground.

Uselessly,

I try to coax a cloud or two.

Searchin the skies,

Knowin 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 singinbones



And I believe

Rain will fall.
