Lyrics[]
The rain didn't come for one calendar year So when the man with the sunflower seeds in his hand came here We sent him away We sent him away The rain didn't come for twelve months more So when the man with the seed catalogs darkened our door We sent him away We sent him away We sent him away We sent him away And I know you're waiting for the ironic ending And I know you're waiting for the punchline And I know you're waiting for the rain to come by So am I So am I So am I So am I
