Sting – Heavy Cloud No Rain Lyrics

Rock

Turn on the weatherman just after the news
I needed sweet rain to wash away my blues
Look at the chart, but I looked in vain
Heavy cloud, but no rain

Back in the time with Louis XVI
At the court of the people, he was number one
He'd be the bluest blood they'd ever seen
Then the king said "Hi" to the guillotine

The royal astrologer was run out of breath
He thought that maybe the rain would postpone his death

He look in the sky, but he look in vain
Heavy cloud, but (no rain)

Well, the land was cracking and the river was dry
All the crops were dying when they ought to be high
So, to save his farm from the banker's draft
The farmer took out a book on some old witchcraft

He made a spell and a potion on a midsummer's night
He killed a brindled calf in the pale moonlight

He prayed to the sky, but he prayed in vain
Heavy cloud, but (no rain)

Heavy cloud, but (no rain)

The sun won't shine 'til the clouds are gone
The clouds won't go 'til their work is done
And every mornin' you'll hear me pray
If only it would rain today

Well I, I asked my baby if there'd be some way?
She said she'd save her love for a rainy day

Look in the sky, but I look in vain
Heavy cloud, but (no rain)

Heavy cloud, but no rain

Heavy cloud

Heavy cloud, but no rain
Thank you
