No Sign Of Rain Lyrics - The Gone Jackals

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 singin bones 

And I believe 

Rain will fall.
