Dry Spell
(words & music by Markus Rill)
 
 
he dry land suite. There's an analogy between the dried up land and the dried up love affair of the narrator. Women and weather are equally hard to influence.
I Dreamed I Saw My Tombstone: This is basically a weird song and it's basically true too. On the first day of winter I went for a walk and ended up in the cemetery looking at all the gravestones and getting strange thoughts.
It's been a dry spell here in the desert
It's been a long hard drought
No rain's been coming down, no lover's come back around
It's been a long hard drought

Now I've been lookin' at the great blue sky
Prayin' for a little rain cloud to come on by
A soothin' touch for this dry soil and for this old boy
Well, I've been lookin' at the great blue sky

It's been a dry spell here in the desert
It's been a long hard drought
No rain's been coming down, no lover's come back around
It's been a long hard drought

And there ain't no sign of rain from above
And there ain't no sign of a little love

And you wanna know how it feels
When all I ever see is this wasteland and these barren fields
I see the sun set on this scene and there ain't no-one to hold me
And you wanna know how it feels

It's been a dry spell here in the desert
It's been a long hard drought
No rain's been coming down, no lover's come back around
It's been a long hard drought
