The Rain Follows the Plow |
| Straight away I learned to pray |
| Heap praise upon the sky |
| You go to heaven when you die |
| But keep that lake of fire in mind |
| Broke all the rules at Catholic school |
| Turned to a life of crime |
| When I stole that motorbike |
| I left a trail of tears behind |
| Had casual sex |
| Smoked cigarettes |
| Threw caution to the wind |
| Was a winding path that I always plan to get back to you again |
| Till the ground 'neath thunderclouds |
| The rain follows the plow |
| But it was never as profound as I had wanted it to be |
| The birds, they sang the Rites of Spring |
| In summer’s La-Z-Boy |
| I sat down to enjoy a world that’s comfortable in green |
| A red feather hawk and a Celtic cross |
| I pierced into my ear |
| No matter where I went I meant to make my way back here |
| Well I don’t need God or common law to tell me right from wrong |
| 'Cause when you press me to your chest |
| I know where I belong |
