about

A song of the struggles of regional families and farmers during the droughts in Australia in recent years.

lyrics

It’s a lonely place in this old town
A young mum struggles, an old guy drowns
His sorrows deep in dusty grounds
We’ll all go down together

No need to sow when the rains won’t come
No lightening skies no distant drums
Thundered hearts full of sun
Dry goes on forever

Seasons come and seasons go
Floodplain’s hard, the rain’s no-show
Some fight on though the battle’s slow
This drought baked land, Australia

A suited man from the A.C.T.
Three years late to hear their pleas
“For mercy’s sake we’re on our knees
We’re all in this together”

Some folk in town can take no more
Stock price falls, nothing in store
No point in staying so they close the door
On a life they built together

Seasons come and seasons go
Floodplain’s hard, the rain’s no-show
Some fight on though the battle’s slow
This drought baked land, Australia

And all the while through thick and thin
Help is rallied and our country kin
Drive convoys east, we all chip in
We’re all in this together

There’s things to face, got to place some trust
As mercury climbs on Mother’s crust
Where rains fail hard, turn soil to dust
Let’s face these things together

Seasons come and seasons go
Floodplain’s hard, the rain’s no-show
Some fight on though the battle’s slow
This drought baked land, Australia
