From this barren earth

That has seen no rain

Desert plains abundant

No more fields will grow

From the dim light of the morning

Stark and slow to yield

The hot sun kills the memory

That lingers in the dark

It's so hard to carry on living

For my sins are too much to bear

Now my soul is growing weaker

I shall sink into the dry earth

Only the slow rhythm of the rain

Can ease this burden and end my pain

Only the slow rhythm of the rain

Can ease this burden and end my pain
