Lyrics:
There's a tombstone in a snowy field
Close by an old ghost town
The epitaph's been weather-blown away
There's a belltower where petitions pealed
It's been half torn down
But it must have softened every soul that came to pray
There's a schoolhouse full of broken glass
And wounded walls
The rusty swings like derelicts sleeping in the weeds
There's a picture-graduation class
Staring down deserted halls
"THE HOPE OF 44" is what it reads
It's just as if some restless wind blew their dreams away
It's just as if those dreams had never been oh-
I feel their ghosts around me now- I hear them say
We've come back home to dream those dreams again
Rainmaker Rainmaker save this old ghost town
Rainmaker pray to heaven
Rainmaker rainmaker watch this dusty ground
Rainmaker pray to heaven

Any chance youi could post the version from "In The Spirit of Things"? Rainmaker is an epic song, and deserves to shine on it's own.
