Heavy Cloud No Rain Lyrics

I needed sweet rain to wash away my blues

He looked at the chart but he look in vain

Heavy cloud but no rain

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

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 witchcraftSting - Heavy Cloud No Rain - http://motolyrics.com/sting/heavy-cloud-no-rain-lyrics.html

He made a spell and a potion on a 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

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

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 vain

Heavy cloud but no rain
