The Rains Keep Falling

 

[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.
