A Sign Of Rain

When the swallow flies low it’s a sign of rain.
Goats run to caves, a storm’s coming
Sheep go to higher land
A robin’s on the lowest branch
The bats have gone insane
It’s a sign of rain

‘Saw a rainbow in the west this mornin’
Chimney smoke turned down without a warnin
The kettle began to spark
The cat turned her back to the fire

The water in the well was hot
The birds started to flock
A frogs back was black
And a fog ‘rose from the wood

When the hills seem near it’s a sign of rain
When the seagulls fly inland again
When the wind blows from the south
Spider threads are on the ground
When your aches begin to pain
It’s a sign of rain
It’s a sign of rain

The new moon is lying on its back.
The river is looking very black
The crows cawing overhead
The dust blows up in your face

There’s a circle round the moon
The cricket is singing out of tune
The cock went crowing to his bed
Sure to rise with a watery head

When the hills seem near it’s a sign of rain
When the seagulls fly inland again
When the wind blows from the south
Spider threads are on the ground
When your aches begin to pain
It’s a sign of rain

Rocks reflect the sun like glass
The dogs are eating the grass
The ducks have started to quack
The curlews are whistling

When the hills seem near it’s a sign of rain
When the seagulls fly inland again
When the wind blows from the south
Spider threads are on the ground
When your aches begin to pain
It’s a sign of rain
It’s a sign of rain
