broken creek - the gathering wool lyrics

Loading...

[verse 1]
my father is the last of a long line of farmers
with a thousand wooly backs, sheep were ready to be sh+rn
but you can’t get shearers since they tore up the award
and the wool’s getting longer by the day

[chorus]
gather the wool before the gathering storm
and the clouds of white turn to grey
gather the wool before the gathering storm
and the clouds of white turn to grey

[verse 2]
it’s the first year in forty there’s just one buzzing blade
the rough boys fling the fleece, he stands alone on the shearing stage
and the smell of lanolin will seep into his skin
mum’s made sure there’ll be a cup of tea

[chorus]
gather the wool before the gathering storm
and the clouds of white turn to grey
gather the wool before the gathering storm
and the clouds of white turn to grey

[bridge]
sweeping up the fallen locks
he hears a drop of rain fall on the roof
he shuts the gate, they’re all safe for now
survive for another year
[chorus]
gather the wool before the gathering storm
and the clouds of white turn to grey
gather the wool before the gathering storm
and the clouds of white turn to grey

[verse 3]
he’s bagged up all the wool but he cannot take a break
they’re sandbagging the school
learned from past mistakes
if the rain continues, he’ll be cut off from the town
water grey as the sky

[chorus]
gather the wool before the gathering storm
and the clouds of white turn to grey
gather the wool before the gathering storm
and the clouds of white turn to grey
