forecast thunders clear skies,
farmer sheds dry tears.
Farmer sheds dry tears,
drought, deluge pile misery;
mounting debts to clear.

Her curls kiss his cheek
eyes closed, lost in reverie;

Bouncing up and down,
through sea of golden gravel,
ship of desert sails.
Winds of change at work,
never-ending draft of life,
puff of golden dust.
