A Little Rain

A little rain
Is all we need
A little rain

The sun is made of lead
The yellow grass is too tall
And everything is dead
The droughts have taken their toll

All we need
Is a little rain
A little rain

For the dry and dusty
Earth, for the shallow rivers;
To erase and wash away
All our past errors

Get rid of all the past
Resentments and sins
And make a new start
And show a new skin.

The barren land
Of my forefathers
Does need the rain
In this parched desert.

All we need
Is a little rain,
A little rain.

...me recuerda la cancion de Beattles "All we need is love" . Es interesante como el estilo de la lectura se acopla al efecto que pretendes: la timidez en la voz; no exiges, incluso, no pides, solo declaras un hecho, : la necesidad de un poco de lluvia. ...y de nuevo LA VOZ (me encanta).

yes ma'am. all we need is a little metaphoric rain and some real rain too. I watched Phoenix dry up this year and the farms die. Not the only dry place in the world but... I love how you made it rain in the end of your video. So lovely your voice to listen to hunni.

all my love LIsa~xxx 5*/favorite!!!

The night rain on my dry country,is singing a song:

Nevermore, I´ll bring joy and love, light eyes,

My Prince, No ¡¡¡¡nevermore ¡¡¡¡
