It’s a hard rain that’s going to fall,

So sit on your porch and enjoy the thunderous sky.

Lightning, across the night sky does crawl.

~

Your harvest needs the rain, so your stalks stand tall.

This summer just seems to be particularly dry.

It’s a hard rain that’s going to fall.

~

Your lady forgot her protective shawl.

Carrying keys on kites that fly.

Lightning, across the night sky does crawl.

~

In the light of the moon, the clouds, with gunshots brawl

The mist hits your fields, and they give off a sigh.

It’s a hard rain that’s going to fall.

~

Shotgun fire in a distant concert hall,

As you sit on your porch and begin to cry

Lightning, across the night sky does crawl.

~

The rain washed away your crops, and the lightning killed your wife after all.

It was the thunder that broke your heart and moved you to cry.

It’s a hard rain that going to fall.

Lightning, across the night sky does crawl.
