about

Inspired by The Well, by Catherine Chanter.

lyrics

There has not been rain
For two years and a day
The same for everyone
With our spades to the ground
We will do what we can
In the dust, and the dry, and the sun
There’s a place
Where it rains, where it rains, where it rains
Oh how we want to live there
There’s a time to sow
And a time to go
A time to leave this land
We’d have thirst for a beer
If it wasn’t so dear
We’ll get through this hand in hand
There’s a place
Where it rains, where it rains, where it rains
Oh how we want to live there
There’s a well, we are told
Where the water has held
But all is not so clear
They say that past the rim
There’s a deadly pool within
And so we shan’t go near
There’s a place
Where it rains, where it rains, where it rains
We pity the souls who live there
Because the only thing that grows
Is the little white rose
And of that you must beware
There’s a place
Where it rains, where it rains, where it rains
We pity the souls who live there
