Come near She fills her basket Where the river reaches the shore While el nina combs the horizon through a storm And the others, they nurse their children Where the fishboats sailed at dawn As I look on from the olive grove before sleeping [?] More like a feather You see I am just a donkey And I am unloved and unclean And I know that I'll soon see my masters As they're being swеpt out to sea [?] two-by-two Across the floodplains in the dark And I starеd at every beast to live and to breathe Were being sealed inside the ark [?] Of all their prayers answered And then seen as ships come in You see I may be a donkey And I'm as tired as I am grey But I've only ever been a beast of burden And I say let it rain, rain, rain, rain Rain harder Harder, harder, harder, harder, harder, harder [?]
