"Waiting For The Sun" lyrics

"Waiting For The Sun"
(with Ami Williamson)

Can't wait for the sun to shine again
Where do the clouds find so much rain
With Covid-19 and the war in Ukraine
Can't wait for the sun to shine

We can't see the valley again today
All we can see is misty grey
Where do the birds all hide away?
Waiting for the sun to shine

It's not the same when cockies don't fly
Wood won't burn, there's no blue sky
The river's comin' up and we're gonna die
Waiting for the sun to shine

Can't wait for the sun to poke its head through
So I could find a smile for you
Do all the things a man can do
If only the sun would shine

We'd take the kids to the beach for a start
Buy an ice-cream and a Portuguese tart
Do all the things that are good for the heart
If only the sun would shine

It's not the same when cockies don't fly
Wood won't burn, there's no blue sky
The river's comin' up and we're gonna die
Waiting for the sun to shine

Everything we owned is on the road
We can't pay the people we owed
We're out in the cold, like a caned toad
Waiting for the sun to shine

It's not the same when cockies don't fly
Wood won't burn, there's no blue sky
The river's comin' up and we're gonna die
Waiting for the sun to shine

It's not the same when cockies don't fly
Wood won't burn, there's no blue sky
The river's comin' up and we're gonna die
Waiting for the sun to shine

Waiting for the sun to shine
