Lyrics

Just a little rain
Falling all around
The grass lifts its head
To the heavenly sound
It was just a little rain
It was just a little rain
And what have they done to the rain
And what have they done to the rain
Just a little breeze
Out of the sky
The leaves nod their heads
As the breeze goes by
It was just a little breeze
With some smoke in its eye
And what have they done to the rain
And what have they done to the rain
Just a little boy
Standing in the rain
The gentle rain that falls for years
And the grass is gone
The boy disappears
And the rain keeps falling
Like helpless tears
And what have they done to the rain
And what have they done to the rain
