	Story Behind the Song Travelling through mid-western NSW during drought times showed me the hardships most people living in modern cities like Sydney wouldn't understand. This song is a snapshot of some of the hardships faced by the farmers & their families during tough times, and the ever present questions of Why?. Lyrics Water From The Sky ©1991 Words & Music .. Scott Astill Verse: As the sun comes up, over the mountains I'm lookin' to the sky, and I'm doubtin' That we will survive another week without rain Well the rain hasn't come, in close on two years And I can see my wife fighting back the tears, I've never seen a town in so much pain Chorus: And what have we done to deserve all this? What have we got to leave to our kids? Where will we go? What'll we do? Oh! Why............Can't we get a little water from the sky? Verse: My son's now three and he's never seen rain I'm glad he's not old enough to comprehend the pain And he doesn't deserve to see the livestock die The fields are dust where even weeds won't grow I'm looking for the answers but I just don't know How much more I can take, of this life Chorus Solo Chorus Verse: Now the seasoned men are locking their gates Their tyres won't see no more cattle grates They're heading for the cities as the drought takes its toll I'm staring to wonder if I should hang around Should I just head on back to town I was lookin' forward to staying 'til I was old Chorus x 2 Coda: just some water from the sky, a little water from the sky without water we will die, just some water from the sky Why can't it rain?
