Peter Rowan - Thirsty In The Rain lyrics

There's an eagle, and he keeps on flying Over the mountains capped in white snow In green valleys lonesome people trying so hard To tell each other what they think they know With greedy hands they take each others money Just to buy back this helpless place In this land of flowing milk and honey We wander thirsty in the rain Thirsty in the rain Just like that eagle, now my soul is flying Over the valleys in the crimson morning sky And there don't seem to be no use in struggling so hard And there don't seem to be no reasons why But I must fight you for a rich man's money So I can buy back this helpless place Seems so useless and somehow funny To be thirsty in the rain Thirsty in the rain Fare thee well, now my own true lover My face you will never see here no more But there is one promise that is given That I will meet you on that shiny golden shore Golden shore, love where the eagles soar so high Above the fruitful plain I'm the same friend that you knew when We wandered thirsty in the rain Thirsty in the rain
