Land around here is dangerously close to flooding again will the new barriers keep it at bay? Or has it all been for nought once again
Rain cascading down flooding land
water levels creeping up high
banks blocked with bags of sand
Creeping water flooding moorland
wiping out the fields of rye
rain cascading down flooding land
Homes by pumps are being manned
while folks stand helpless and sigh
banks blocked with bags of sand
While rivers by bridges spanned
lay broken by torrents from sky
rain cascading down flooding land
Man's best laid plans no longer stand
swept away, will it never dry?
banks blocked with bags of sand
And black clouds choked with rain vie
with birds sheltering in the pig sty
rain cascading down flooding land
banks blocked with bags of sand.
