If storms didn’t bring the rain
If storms didn’t bring the rain
If storms didn’t bring the rain
All those sunny days would seem the same
If that water didn’t tumble down
If that water didn’t tumble down
If that water didn’t tumble down
There’d be nothing for those roots to drink deep underground
If lightning didn’t split the sky
If lightning didn’t split the sky
If lightning didn’t split the sky
There’d be no reason for that thunder to cry
If the river didn’t leave its bed
If the river didn’t leave its bed
If the river didn’t leave its bed
The banks wouldn’t seem so sweet a place for me to lay my head
If my pockets were lined with gold
If my pockets were lined with gold
If my pockets were lined with gold
Those silver-lined thunderheads wouldn’t be such a treasure to behold
