Lyrics
Dry Season
Ed Mc Dade c. 1995
We're in the dry season.
Time is moving slow.
There ain't enough water for our fields to grow.
Dreams we have tended to wither on the vine.
Makes a soul grow so heavy.
Makes a heart want to cry.
But I'll go on loving you.
That's all I can do.
Dry season's are always followed by rain.
Let's keep faith together.
Till it comes around again.
Up on the black road heat is rising high.
I can feel your heart sinking,
Beneath the afternoon sky.
We have cast bread on waters,
Tasted bitter and sweet.
If hope springs eternal, there will be relief.
Chorus.
