Drought

Oh God that I could cry again

O God that I could cry -

The light is dim, my soul is dead

my love, he will not turn his head

the sweet wet wells are dry

 

O God that I could cry again

O God that I could cry

The very earth is caving in

dry and bare like the dust of sin

the soft wet wells are dry

 

O God that I could cry again

Break these shackles, weep and cry.

My tongue is caked,

My mind seems baked

Dry and hard my sigh.

 

Cry again - o weep and sigh

for the lost cause and the once blue sky

Desolation stems my words

all is bitter - salted curds

for yet the wells are dry.
