Season of Drought

© 1998 by Eric Dahl

Just east of here the corn is growin half high.
If we don’t get some rain, it’s all gonna die.
They used to torch the spikes off the prickly pear
To save the last of the heard, we’re almost there,

Season of drought,
Been a long time without,
Each passing cloud leaves a little more doubt,
Each root reaching for a dry vein
Tries a little, dies a little,
waitin for rain in a season of drought.

Everybody in the town of Blanco
Is comin to the square.
Just a few days left in the Blanco River,
Bow your head in prayer.
I’m not one for religion
But sometimes I pray,
Wisdom of the ages or superstition,
There’s gotta be a way.
There’s a water witch walkin in the
valley shadows, been out there all day,
Wisdom of the ages or superstition,
gotta find a way, gotta find a way.

Season of drought . . . .

It all depends where your water comes from
River, aquifer, little stream
Maybe you ignore it, act deaf and dumb
But this dry river is my worst dream
This dry riverbed is worse than a dream
Makes you wonder how your strength’s gonna come
River, aquifer, little stream
It all depends where your water comes from
It all depends where your water comes from

Season of draught . . . .
