Sting - Heavy Cloud No Rain (Live at Irving Plaza, 2011 Remix)

[00:21.63] Turn on the weatherman just after the news [00:25.12] I needed sweet rain to wash away my blues [00:30.18] Look at the chart, but I looked in vain [00:34.89] Heavy cloud, but no rain [00:38.80] Back in the time with Louis XVI [00:42.33] At the court of the people, he was number one [00:46.66] He'd be the bluest blood they'd ever seen [00:50.86] Then the king said "Hi" to the guillotine [00:56.19] The royal astrologer was run out of breath [00:59.42] He thought that maybe the rain would postpone his death [01:04.28] He look in the sky, but he look in vain [01:09.48] Heavy cloud, but (no rain) [01:12.57] Well, the land was cracking and the river was dry [01:16.83] All the crops were dying when they ought to be high [01:21.03] So, to save his farm from the banker's draft [01:25.44] The farmer took out a book on some old witchcraft [01:29.67] He made a spell and a potion on a midsummer's night [01:33.85] He killed a brindled calf in the pale moonlight [01:38.49] He prayed to the sky, but he prayed in vain [01:43.78] Heavy cloud, but (no rain) [01:47.51] [02:04.83] [02:18.43] Heavy cloud, but (no rain) [02:21.97] The sun won't shine 'til the clouds are gone [02:26.50] The clouds won't go 'til their work is done [02:31.27] And every mornin' you'll hear me pray [02:35.58] If only it would rain today [02:39.11] Well I, I asked my baby if there'd be some way? [02:43.17] She said she'd save her love for a rainy day [02:48.50] Look in the sky, but I look in vain [02:53.25] Heavy cloud, but (no rain) [03:01.32] [03:04.54] Heavy cloud, but no rain [03:08.44] [03:17.85] Heavy cloud [03:21.59] [03:32.07] Heavy cloud, but no rain [03:35.47] Thank you [03:36.08]
