Rumours of rain better batten down the hatches
Pray it won't fall like those years ago
When the storm it was raging for so many days
Rumours of rain, rumours of rain

Rumours of rain try to fortify the fences
Bring in the dog and the lamb and the sheep
Huddle together too scared to sleep
Wait for the rain, wait for the rain, wait for the rain

Peace for all people amen

The hurricane forces will soon be upon us
The wind blows so hard that with wings we could fly
Higher than heaven to where there's no pain
Where there's no pain, where there's no pain

Almighty powers that be
I'm begging you for your mercy
Don't let the lightning strike me....please

Peace for all people amen

My wife and my children are gathering their good-byes
Carefully chosen for leaving in haste
Cause the rest will be dust in a covered up cave
After the rain, after the rain

Peace for all people amen
