The Rains of Cairns

 

[Verse]

It's been days since sunlight graced our land,

Cairns is drowning, can't you understand?

The lawns now look like great big lakes,

Barbecue under, for goodness' sakes.

[Verse 2]

The rain keeps falling, it won't stop,

Far North Queensland's taking the drop,

From the gutters to the flooded street,

Soggy ground beneath our feet.

[Chorus]

Oh, it's pissing down, ain't seen no blue,

Our little town, soaked right through,

Hold on tight, we'll weather the storm,

Find some warmth, keep each other warm.

[Verse 3]

Mud on the boots, cars stuck in gear,

Neighbours lending hands, bringing cheer,

All the fish, they're swimming high,

Rain keeps coming from the sky.

[Verse 4]

The river’s rising, but we stand tall,

Together we’ll rebuild, after it all,

Life's a mess of puddles and pain,

But one day soon, we'll see sun again.

[Chorus]

It's pissing down, ain't seen no blue,

Our little town, soaked right through,

Hold on tight, we'll weather the storm,

Find some warmth, keep each other warm.

[Chorus]

It's pissing down, ain't seen no blue,

Our little town, soaked right through,

Hold on tight, we'll weather the storm,

Find some warmth, keep each other warm.
