This Water Keeps Falling

This water keeps falling down
This water keeps falling…

Shevardnadze, the girl on TV
Walking down a street, carrying a brolly
She is late. She won’t make it
Tapping toes in her high-heels
Mister Monfils, I wonder who is
A gal or a gale, playing tennis

This water keeps falling down
This water keeps falling…

Stuck in my room, filled with moisture
A crack on the roof leaking water
It keeps spilling over the gutter
Circuits blown, I close the shutter
Only dry place is on the sofa
Tuned to news for a break in weather

This water keeps falling down
This water keeps falling…

Wringed branches and drenching leaves
Hanging low down on empty lanes
Overflow in the garden
Running water in the drain
It’s been three days of an endless shower
And no wind there to blow the cover

This water keeps falling down
This water keeps falling…

Short of food, I feel hungry
I’m not in mood to run and hurry
Step in flood to go get something
And get wet out there shopping
Slow burning meat in the freezer
Some cool drinks at room temperature

This water keeps falling down
This water keeps falling…
