Sweet Water: Summoning the Rain Snake

Launch Text To Speech

Summoning the Rain Snake
Clouds come, clouds come
Cover the face of the fierce sun
Shade the earth from its glare
Our throats are dry, we may die
Call the rain-snake from its lair
Clouds burst, clouds burst
Shed your tears upon parched earth
Cool our brows, wet our lips
So we may slake our thirsts

Bob
