When The Skies Open Up

 

[Verse]

It won’t stop raining in this Far North town,

The sky’s relentless, pouring down.

Our lawns have turned into a shallow lake,

The barbeque’s drenched, there's nothing to bake.

[Chorus]

Oh, when the skies open up and flood the land,

It feels like Noah’s calling, understand.

The pool’s overflowed, and the garden’s drowned,

In this soaked, small country town.

[Verse 2]

The gutters are groaning under the weight,

The garden's all washed out, met its fate.

It's pissing down, every drop's a curse,

As floodwaters rise, it can't get much worse.

[Chorus]

Oh, when the skies open up and flood the land,

It feels like Noah’s calling, understand.

The pool’s overflowed, and the garden’s drowned,

In this soaked, small country town.

[Verse 3]

The cows are standing on higher ground,

Seeking refuge from the rain around.

The kangaroos seek shelter too,

In flood-swept fields, there's nothing to do.

[Chorus]

Oh, when the skies open up and flood the land,

It feels like Noah’s calling, understand.

The pool’s overflowed, and the garden’s drowned,

In this soaked, small country town.
