about

Our engineer, Dave Langemann joins us on Soprano guitar on this track. Drought is a time of hardship & I'm always pleasantly amazed at how love - young lovers, find each other regardless of the obstacles they face.. Love conquers all, as they say!

lyrics

There's a boy from the mission
with a dream in his hand
A simple ambition to play the guitar
in the community band
There's a girl at the station, he sees every day
She's sweet and she's kind
and in each other's mind
They're falling in love

Love in the time of drought

She hums with her eyes closed, he whistles a tune
He wears his favourite old hoodie
- she wears a little perfume
It rattles his senses as the train rumbles in
He smiles at her shyly
and shyly she smiles back at him
And its love ...
the beginning of love in the time of drought

She offers him water, he brings her a shell
Times are so hard when the taps have run dry
and nothing's left in the well
They dream of the thunder and the promise of rain
When rivers are flowing and everything's living
and growing again
Like love in the time of drought ...

It's the smell of the rain on the earth,
the taste of the drops on your tongue
It's the feel of the rain on your face
and the way you embrace
when you're young and finding love
Love in the time of drought

Where the rain is a river and it raptures along
It's a precious life giver, the words of a song
The start of a new day - it's a heavenly sound
It's the promise of life and of joy for the girl and the
boy and love that they've found
In the time of drought
