Little Annie Vickers is boarding up windows

And her old dog is stranded on the Silos

Hey there Annie, don't even think it

So much water and you can't even drink it

Well, maybe by Christmas they'll dig up the roads

Take whatever you can girl

Leave the rest for the crows

Leave the rest for the crows

Been livin' in Crawford for fifteen years

Nothin' much ever happens 'round here

And no one believed the water would come

'Til the sky grew dark and it swallowed the sun

And it rained for forty-two nights and forty-two days

And everthing that we loved is floatin' away

Chorus:

How long 'til our dreams run dry

Don't know by we're stayin'

On our knees we raise our eyes

Holdin' on and prayin' to find

One blue sky

Mrs. Wilson sits with an insurance adjustor

Big city boys, she never did trust 'em

Have you been gettin' the letters I'm sendin'

'Cuz the preacher swears that the world is ending

Well, if there's no way out, wish someone would show us

We keep looking around here for some modern day Moses

repeat chorus

Now we're diggin' our heels hard as we can

But the backyard looks like the Rio Grande

And I wonder will it wash us clean or wash us away

repeat chorus twice

One blue sky
