| Such a long time, 1968,
|
| When I thought I had the world by the tail.
|
| Never thinking it could simmer.
|
| Who’d of thought the style was to fail?
|
| The drought is over, yes it’s over for me.
|
| The drought is over, it’s plain to see.
|
| Graced with love now, where before I was poor.
|
| I see beauty where there was none before.
|
| The drought is over, yes it is.
|
| The drought is over, yeah.
|
| Mm… mm,
|
| It’s been a struggle, but I made it through
|
| And the rain is falling sweetly on me.
|
| Like a flower I am growing and it’s feeling so good to me.
|
| The drought is over, yes it’s over for me.
|
| The drought is over, it’s plain to see.
|
| When the sunshines, it’s so wonderful I know.
|
| But without rain drops the pretty flowers won’t grow.
|
| The drought is over, yeah.
|
| The drought is over, yeah.
|
| The drought is over, yes it’s over for me.
|
| The drought is over, it’s plain to see.
|
| The drought is over, yeah that was the end.
|
| The drought is over, Barry Gordy’s my friend.
|
| The drought is over, yay.
|
| The drought is over, yeah.
|
| The drought is over, Mmm it’s plain to see.
|
| The drought is over, it’s all over for me.
|
| We’ve been struggling for awhile, but I still want to smile.
|
| Yeah, hay oh yeah, yeah, hay
|
| The drought is over, it’s over for me.
|
| The drought is over, Lord, it’s plain to see.
|
| The drought is over, that was the end…
|
| The drought is over, Barry Gordy’s my friend.
|
| Whoah Barry, Whoah Barry,
|
| Make things merry, Whoah don’t you know.
|
| Yeah, hey, yeah, hey,
|
| Yeah, hey
|
| Thank God (That it’s over!) |
