Description
A song about a woman who lives on a farm with her husband who she love so much, but wishes he would spend more time with her and less on the farm. She is lonely and knows that the only thing that will bring him in is the rain. They both pray for rain for different reason, but she prays for rain because she can't hold on much longer.
Lyrics
SHE PRAYS FOR RAIN The sun beats down on that old red clay, he’s out there every day Tending rows of wilted crops, only stopping when it rains She sits up in that old house, spending too much time alone She knows there is just one thing that will bring him home She prays for rain To wash the loneliness away She needs to feel the thunder that she felt in younger days He knows if it doesn’t fall, they stand to lose it all It might be for different reasons, but their prayers are both the same They pray for rain Sometimes she thinks she’s selfish for feeling like she does But she wonders if he knows how close she is to giving up To keep a heart from dying, you have to spread a little love You think he’d know you reap just what you sow She prays for rain To wash the loneliness away She needs to feel the thunder that she felt in younger days He knows if it doesn’t fall, they stand to lose it all It might be for different reasons, but their prayers are both the same They pray for rain They pray for rain.
