Iola Songtext
von Great Plains

Corn′s burned up and the well's gone dry
The ground′s like powder on the fourth of July
Even the crows gave up on these cloudless plains

Iola can you bring the rain
Iola can you bring the rain

Desperation in my daddy's eyes
A prayer on his lips as he watches the skies
He needs me Iola, his dreams are withering away

Iola can you bring the rain
Iola can you bring the rain

Iola I know
I promised we'd get out of this town
If you could cry me a river or laugh up a storm
It′s gonna take a miracle to save this farm


Can′t sleep worrying 'bout the money we owe
Can′t make good if the corn won't grow
Iola you know this isn′t a question of blame

Iola can you bring the rain

Iola I know
I promised we'd get out of this town
If you could cry me a river or laugh up a storm
It′s gonna take a miracle to save this farm

Iola can you bring the rain
Iola can you bring the rain
Iola can you bring the rain
Iola can you bring the rain
Iola won't you bring the rain
Iola bring the rain
Iola
Iola
