An Overflowing River

The River's overflowing These days it never stops There's a flood in my backyard And it's boiling to the top. The tides are all muddied Rocks at every turn No shore in site, Still I'm swimming for my life. My raft sprang a leak a few miles ago Now my legs have grown tired And my arms can no longer row It the rains would stop falling Maybe the waters would go down, But for now I'm drowning in this pool And the grasses have turned brown. I never thought there could be a thing As too much rain in these parts, But not only have the plants been dying, My pillowcases are all soaked through. Rain Rain go away And bring me then a summer wave.
