	Story Behind the Song this song was written during a hot, dry summer, thinking about climate change. This is the second recording of it i did, on 4-track; i'm planning to redo it soon on 12-track digital Lyrics DROUGHT SONG When the forest’s gone, then the water goes The willows die when the creek don’t flow Thunder rolls, but the rain don’t fall The country’s quiet, no birds call Chor: It’s gonna get dry, dry, dry, dry It’s gonna get dry, dry, dry, dry Flowers bloom, but the bees don’t buzz Why is this so? Because, because This world’s been bent to the ways of men Something’s gonna give, it ain’t if but when Chor. I can’t tell you just what’s gonna be But it’s gonna get tougher, just wait and see Or better yet, don’t wait at all Start listening for your inner call Don’t be afraid to ask for help And when you can, help out yourself Chor. Maybe this earth will be green again Maybe we’ll learn to live as friends Maybe we’ll just hit the wall I think it’s way too close to call Whatever happens, let it feed your soul Work on your part, remember the whole Chor 2x
