The Rains Came Down

The rain came down
And soaked the earth
The mist in the meadows
Of a noble birth
The only fortune
For a man runnin’ round
Searchin'
But the rains came down
The sound of the wind
Has called me away
Filled me with hope
Of a free home someday
The more I wander
The more it resounds
Searchin’
But the rains came down
I travelled the byways
The roads without end
I followed a rainbow
In search of a friend
The more I’ve wished for
The less I have found
Searchin'
But the rains came down
In my twenty-first summer
I made up my mind
To forget a fortune
I never could find
My hopes and my dreams
Are soaked in the sod
And on this hill
I will meet my God
The only fortune
For a man runnin’ round
Searchin’
But the rains came down
The rains came down
But the rains came down
