Far Country

music and lyrics by Mike Oldfield

Last revised: 13 December 1995

She takes the rain,
Turns it to sun,
And my soul, she fills it.
Where once was a desert,
Rivers now run
And my storm, she stills it. She takes the rain.


[ Chorus ]

She breathes the air
From a far country.
This bond survives
Like a tall, tall tree.
I close my eyes
And how far I see.... She takes the rain.


She gives me hope
When there's nothing but pain.
I can't explain it.
Two different leaves,
But the branch is the same.
Forever, let it be.... She takes the rain.


[ Repeat Chorus ]

She takes the rain.


[ Repeat Chorus ]
