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
