Well it hasn't rained in this ol town
Since I can't remember
The earth is drying up
And blows away
Like the seeds that must be planted
We lay our loved ones
In the grave
And I drew so deep
Upon the well of love
As I watched the sickness
Growing in her eyes
The heart dries up
And starts to wither
At the bottom of a well
That has run dry
And the sky looks ready
To fall down
And my ears are ringing
With the sound of the thunder
And I know I'm ready to cry now
Oh I know I'm ready to cry now
And time moves slow
Upon the Estacado
Growing from the west to the east
You can hear it the turbine whistle
Count the hours
To the rhythm of the rings...
And nothings meant to last forever
And everything in time will pass away
But nothing really disappears forever
In the blink of an eye
Everything has changed
And the sky looks ready
To fall down
And my ears are ringing
With the sound of the thunder
And I know I'm ready to cry now
Oh I know I'm ready to cry now
Yeah I know I'm ready to cry now
Yeah I know I'm ready...
