Lyrics[]

The bows hang low
And I know
Why
The apple blossoms are dry
No rainfall
No rain this year
No rain at all
No rain anywhere near here

Skin cracking
The skies are clear
There's no turning back now
But there's no water here

The flash bulb pops
But those are some sad lookin' crops
See?
That's the useless tractor
And over there that's me
Standing on dry land
Reaping the dividends
Under a cloudless sky
Smiling at the camera lens

Skin cracking
The skies are clear
There's no turning back now
But there's no water here

Skin cracking
The skies are clear
There's no turning back now
But there's no water here
