Dry Day Lyrics

The future holds
The scores involved
Just remember, hold your head up high
Just let them talk
About your walk
They'll wilt you just to fill up empty lies

Could you
Turn the other cheek?
Could you
Laugh if things look bleak?

Will it be a dry day?
I detect a dark cloud in your sky
Will it be a dry day?
Or will there be a tear there in your eye?

Forget your past
You'll live with us
Lady Luck's been smiling down on you
More spirit than pace
Betrayed your ways
And your friends were wiser than you knew

Can you
Live your severed years?
Can you
Forget all your fears?
Will it be a dry day?
I detect a dark cloud in your sky
Will it be a dry day?
Will there be a tear there in your eye?
Tear there in your eye

Have you
Spread the fatal news?
Do you
Need to change your shoes?

Will it be a dry day?
I detect a dark cloud in your sky
Will it be a dry day?
Will your ointment find another fly?
Will it be a dry day?
Will there be a tear there in your eye?
A tear there in your eye
A tear there in your eye
