Dust and Drought

Dead are the dahlias
 Dead are the daisies
 Dead are the dandelions
 Gone is the pond
 Gone is the garden
 The fountain, the green, the blue gold
 Dust and drought have settled down here
 Dust and drought have settled down
 (x2)
 The dry leaves fell from the trees
 The dry trees wept and died out
 Daily dawns another desiccated day
 On the dunes and on the dales
 Dust and drought have settled down here
 Dust and drought have settled down
 (x2)
 Dust and drought (x4)
 The dry leaves fell from the trees
 The dry trees wept and died out
 The drought eroded our fiber
 Corroded us to the core
 Dust and drought have settled down here
 (Dust and drought have settled down)
 Dust and drought have settled down
 (Dust and drought have settled down)
 Dust and drought have settled down here
 (Dust and drought have settled down)
 Dust and drought have settled down
