North Country Song (Rain On The Mountainside) - Jake Thackray[00:00:00]
The rain is on the mountainside[00:00:08]
The beast is in the silent meadow[00:00:11]
The north countryside is patiently[00:00:15]
Waiting again[00:00:17]
Blackbird is dumb in the juniper[00:00:21]
Lapwing shivers in the dripping thicket[00:00:24]
Down in the stone-faced town[00:00:28]
One door opens[00:00:31]
For though the weather blow wild[00:00:34]
I see the shepherd step[00:00:37]
Up to his moorside[00:00:38]
And in despite of the cold[00:00:41]
The poor farmer going to[00:00:43]
His meadow below[00:00:45]
Going to his meadow below[00:00:48]
When the birch tree is agonised[00:00:59]
And when the little river is tormented[00:01:02]
The land on its knees[00:01:06]
The house on its hunkers[00:01:08]
There is a figure moving by the wall[00:01:12]
Leaning for breath upon a stony shoulder[00:01:15]
His eyes to the skies seldom lifted[00:01:19]
For though the weather blow wild[00:01:26]
I see the shepherd step[00:01:28]
Up to his moorside[00:01:29]
And in despite of the cold[00:01:32]
The poor farmer going to[00:01:35]
His meadow below[00:01:37]
Going to his meadow below[00:01:40]
North-country countryside[00:01:51]
The grim indifference of your nature[00:01:54]
Most other men would turn[00:01:57]
Stumbling homeward[00:02:00]
But this one is a different kind[00:02:04]
He knows the pinches of[00:02:07]
An older hunger[00:02:08]
A greater storm than[00:02:10]
Yours in his heart rages[00:02:11]
For though the weather blow wild[00:02:16]
I see the shepherd whistling[00:02:19]
On his moorside[00:02:20]
And in despite of the cold[00:02:23]
The poor farmer singing in[00:02:25]
His meadow below[00:02:27]
Singing in his meadow below[00:02:31]
