Draught Days

[Verse] Solo on the dusty fields Silent cries beneath the sky blue Water fades to dreams far still Hopes we chase like ghosts anew [Verse 2] Days are long the sun won't rest Shadows dance in heat's cruel test Village whispers prayers to rain Echoes lost in dry terrain [Chorus] Draught days hold us tight Melancholy in the night Holding on with all our might Till rain cleanses sight [Verse] Cracks in earth like broken glass Time moves slow as moments pass Laughter's gone it's hard to find In the drought we’re left behind [Bridge] Eyes look up with silent plea Waiting for the storm to see Clouds that bring the drops we crave To wash away the summers grave [Chorus] Draught days hold us tight Melancholy in the night Holding on with all our might Till rain cleanses sight
