Heavy Cloud No Rain

[Verse 1] Turned on the weather man just after the news      I needed sweet rain to wash away my blues          He looked at the chart but he look in vain         Heavy cloud but no rain [Verse 2] Back in time with Louis XVI                        At the court of the people he was number one       He’d be the bluest blood they’d ever seen          When the king said hi to the guillotine            The royal astrologer was run out of breath He thought that maybe the rain would postpone his death He look in sky but he look in vain                 Heavy cloud but no rain [Verse 3] Well the land was cracking and the river was dry   All the crops were dying when they ought to be high So to save his farm from the banker’s draft              The farmer took out a book on some old witchcraft     He made spell and potion on midsummer’s night He killed a brindled calf in the pale moonlight He prayed to the sky but he prayed in vain     Heavy cloud but no rain [Guitar Solo] [Bridge] Heavy cloud but no rain The sun won’t shine till the clouds are gone The clouds won’t go till their work is done And every morning you’ll hear me pray If only it would rain today [Verse 4] I asked my baby if there’d be some way             She said she’d save her love for a rainy day       I look in the sky but I look in vainAm6            Heavy cloud but no rain
