Water from Demons & Dreamers by Keeping North

Standing on the levee on the Wilson’s River
Looking at the rising like an Indian giver
The Lord he giveth and he taketh away
Gonna be a lot of people done rue the day

Water

Breaking their backs and breaking their hearts
Gotta think twice about a brand new start
Killing their business and stealing their homes
Really gotta see about a no-go zone

Water, water, water, water

Burning hot sun and dry cracked ground
Cawing of the crows be the only sound
Been three long years since they’ve seen the rain
Ain’t nothing but water gonna ease that pain

Water

Their cattle just dying dropping every day
All of their neighbours have moved away
Banks make noise about a helping hand
But going broke ain’t a real good plan

Water, water, water, water

While the Great Southern Land is getting drier
Flooded folks watch the river get higher
