Far Country
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
She takes the rain, and turns it to sun
And my soul, she fills it
Where once was a desert, rivers now run
And my storm she stills it
She takes the rain
She breathes the air, from a far country
This bond survives, like it's all told dream
I close my eyes, and how far I see
She takes the rain
She gives me hope, when there's nothing but pain
I can't explain it
Two different leaves, but the branches the same
Forever let it be
She takes the rain
She breathes the air, from a far country
This bond survives, like it's all told dream
I close my eyes, and how far I see
She takes the rain
(solo)
ease the pain
She breathes the air, from a far country
This bond survives, like it's all told dream
I close my eyes, and how far I see
She takes the rain
