Name: Rain (a capella version)
Duration: P00H01M46S
Description: Closer to the way it was originally written, though the verse beginning "A pale song..." is a later addition. Actually, l'm still not sure I don't prefer a shorter version (Verse 1, verse 2, verse 1 repeat).

lyrics

Rain, the gentle rain that hung upon the grass
The autumn rain that touched the fields so early
When the summer sun returns will you hold me
Once again, in your arms,
Among the fields of golden barley?

Summer was a burning wind that raised a bitter crop
That came and went so swiftly and unfairly
And then the autumn rain put a rust upon my heart
Left alone among the fields of golden barley

Rain, the gentle rain that hung upon the grass
The autumn rain that touched the fields so early
When the summer sun returns will you hold me once again
In your arms, among the fields of golden barley?

A pale song, a sad song to hold within my mind
A bitter song of summer love gone from me
When the summer sun returns will you hold me in your arms
Once again, among the fields of golden barley?

Rain, the gentle rain that hung upon the grass
The autumn rain that touched the fields so early
When the summer sun returns will you hold me once again
In your arms, among the fields of golden barley?
