Mum and Dad are home |
|
Sitting round the table |
|
Dad's got his face buried in his hands |
|
Never seen Dad cry |
|
Didn't think that he was able |
|
Gravel on the drive, washed away again |
|
And with skin off his fingers |
|
Still the rain comes down |
|
Another week just waiting |
|
As he looks down at his hands |
|
Tell the rain to stop falling |
|
Tell the banks to stop calling |
|
Tell the politicians where they can put their plans |
|
Tell the day to hold on longer |
|
Tell our sons we can't be bothered |
|
And then tell these hands to give up on the land |
|
Tell these hands. |
|
Better take a look |
|
Rain might be gone by morning |
|
Are you coming for a drive, we wont be long |
|
Arm out the window |
|
'Giving In' on the radio |
|
Funny how that rain cant deep us in |
|
And with skin off his fingers |
|
Still the rain comes down |
|
They're driving through the inches |
|
On a track of flooded ground |
|
Tell the rain to stop falling |
|
Tell the banks to stop calling |
|
Tell the politicians where they can put their plans |
|
Tell the day to hold on longer |
|
Tell our son's we can't be bothered |
|
And then tell these hands to give up on the land |
|
Tell, tell these hands |
|
Go on and tell these hands |
|
Go on and tell these hands |
|
Tell these hands |
