ANOTHER RAIN HAS FALLEN
Ralph McTell

Another rain has fallen, and I am the ploughman,
And I love the rain; Another rain has fallen and I am the ploughman.
And I need the rain.
For the rain will soften all my ground, and make my plough cut perfectly.
The earth is ready for the seed. A little rain is all I need.

Another rain has fallen,
And I am the sower, And I love the rain.
And another rain has fallen,
And I am the sower, and I need the rain.
For the rain will make the seed to burst,
Begin its life and take firm root.
To grow the crop, to swell the grain,
It must have a little rain.

Another rain has fallen,
And I am the reaper, and I watch the sky,
For another rain might fall and
I am the reaper, I must watch for rain.
For now I really need the sun
To reap the good crop that has grown,
If the rain falls now, my crop is lost,
And I'll be left to count the cost.

Of another rain falling.
And I am the lover, My tears like rain
Another tear has fallen,
And I am the lover, and I have cried again.
I have ploughed and I have sown,
I have guarded, I have loved
And like the farmer I must blame
My gamble, cost and loss on another rain.

Coda:
I have ploughed and I have sown,
I have guarded, I have loved,
And like the farmer I must blame
My gamble, cost and loss on another rain.

It's there, it really is.

(Someone else please do MIDI/abc? The music is a bugger! Changes key, time sig. etc......I am just not that good with MIDI yet.)
