Summer Flood Lyrics by Pussy willows and pancakes

Summer Flood

Summer came in like a westerly wind, and went out like a suicide
Winter fell down hard, it dropped in like a rock
There's nothing but these fields and forever to keep the walls from comin' in
God only knows why they're not

The river rose as fast as the sunsets on the western sky
The low land surrended as the rain hit the ground
We lost the land, the crop, the car, and the insurance claim
We were beat, we were tired and yes, we were down

These are the days that can make you weep
Cause this is the baggage that you own
The clothes on you back is all you keep
The rest is gone, it's gone, long gone

On the third day when the sky finally cleared, that's when the levy broke
The roadways and the waterways they were one in the same
So we headed for hills, the cities, towns, and trailer parks
For as long as I shall live, I will always fear the rain

Repeat Chorus

Summer came in like a westerly wind
And went out like a suicide
Word and Music by Mark Manthei copywright July 19 1986
