"September Wind" lyrics

September wind blow no more
I've seen your signs of drought before
I heard you slam the sleepout door
September Wind

I've dragged the branches off the drive
Without the rain we won't survive
It's hard to keep the cows alive
September Wind

You and your mate El Niño
You kill our trees, you melt the snow
Isn't there somewhere else to go?
September Wind

The price of hay is on the rise
It's so dry it's no surprise
I see no sympathy in your eyes
September Wind

You bring misery with your heat
You bring fire with your feet
Burning down houses in our street
September Wind

I'm too old now that's the truth
Of keeping gum leaves off the roof
Got to keep the old house bulletproof
September Wind

You and your mate El Niño
You kill our trees, you melt the snow
Isn't there somewhere else to go?
September Wind

You bring misery with your heat
You bring fire with your feet
Burning down houses in our street
September Wind
