The boughs hang low
And I know
Why
The apple blossoms are dry
No rainfall
No rain this year
No rain at all
No rain anywhere near here
Skin cracking
The skies are clear
There's no turning back now
But there's no water here
The flash bulb pops
But those are some sad lookin' crops
See?
That's the useless tractor
And over there that's me
Standing on dry land
Reaping the dividends
Under a cloudless sky
Smiling at the camera lens
Skin cracking
The skies are clear
There's no turning back now
But there's no water here
Skin cracking
The skies are clear
There's no turning back now
But there's no water here
