lyrics

DOWNFALL LYRICS

Rain's coming down, fields are flooding
Whatever you do - it isn't any use
River's rising, things washed away
All we can do is sit on the roof
(All we can do is sit on the roof)

Roads are closed - we can't get through
Though we try there is nothing we can do
Last December - six foot under
This time it's worse - we just sit on the roof
(we just sit on the roof)

DOWNFALL THE RAIN
DOWNFALL FOR US AGAIN

WATER, WATER ALL AROUND
AND THAT RAIN KEEPS FALLIN' DOWN
WATER, WATER ALL AROUND
AND THAT RAIN KEEPS FALLIN' DOWN
AND THAT RAIN KEEPS FALLIN' DOWN

They don't come to look at the water
They don't see what it's done to this place
Whatever they think now, whatever they say now
Whatever they do now it'll be too late

Last time - just the same
Took us months to get ourselves back here again
Now it's happening, happening all over
You wouldn't think there could be so much rain
(You would not think there could be so much rain)

DOWNFALL...
