[Verse 1]
Have you ever seen the far side of a mountain swallow the sky?
As you travel through the valley
As you're speedin' still far behind
Through the valley where lovers climb

[Verse 2]
Have you ever seen the locust clean its wings right after a plague?
Like descendin' of the dark cloud
Dim the sunlight to end the day
To kill the sunlight to end the day
Yes, it will follow the rain

[Verse 3]
Have you ever seen the quiet indecision of a man?
When he's standin' by the fire
With an eager friend in his hand
Will he ever quite understand
That it will follow the rain
I said oh my friend it will follow the rain

[Verse 4]
Have you ever seen your baby getting caught by a lonesome wind?
And the whistlin' round the corners
Telling you they have let her in
Separation can now begin
Yes, it will follow the rain
I said oh my friend it will follow the rain
I said oh my friend it will follow the rain

[Verse 5]
Have you ever seen the far side of a mountain swallow the sky?
As you travel through the valley
As you're speedin' still far behind
Through the valley where lovers climb
Where the children will blink and sigh
They have caught a lightnin' strike
In a jar just to watch it die
In the valley where lovers climb

Yes, it will follow the rain
I said oh my friend it will follow the rain
