       [Verse] 
       
      The sky's been cryin' for days on end, 
       
      In Far North Queensland, my dear friend. 
       
      The lawns have turned into a lake, 
       
      Barbecue's drenched, feels like a mistake. 
       
      [Verse 2] 
       
      The rain won't stop, it's a constant pour, 
       
      Pounding on the tin roof, what a bore. 
       
      The pool's rooted, can't take no more, 
       
      The garden's washed away, to the distant shore. 
       
      [Chorus] 
       
      It's floodin' now, water everywhere, 
       
      Gutters overflowing, we got no repair. 
       
      When will it end? We can only guess, 
       
      Country life soaked in this watery mess. 
       
      [Verse 3] 
       
      Boots are mud-caked from walkin' 'round, 
       
      Everywhere you step, you sink right down. 
       
      The driveway's vanished, paths all gone, 
       
      Another day of rain from dusk till dawn. 
       
      [Bridge] 
       
      The neighbors shout, "We're all in this!" 
       
      Wading through water, sealed with a kiss. 
       
      We'll make it through, like we always do, 
       
      But Lord, it'd be nice to see skies of blue. 
       
      [Chorus] 
       
      It's floodin' now, water everywhere, 
       
      Gutters overflowing, we got no repair. 
       
      When will it end? We can only guess, 
       
      Country life soaked in this watery mess.  |
