Black Rain - Jed Rowe

Incredible song this one. 
Gets me in the guts every time. 
He came by here on a Friday
Some polished man in a suit and tie
He was shaking hands and smiling
And he looked me in the eye

He said I’m here to help you
Said I could be a wealthy man
I was mortgaged to the eyeballs
I couldn’t turn him down

Black rain falling from the sky
Black rain settles on the ground
Black rain, Black rain

Now it’s raining on New England
Raining on the Darling Downs
on the Northern Rivers winding
Muddy, wide and brown

Black rain falling from the sky
Black rain settles on the ground
And the company denies it 
As we watch it coming down
A black mist hanging over
Every field and every town
They’re carving up the country
And the lives we’ve handed down
Black rain, Black rain

First the trucks and then the pipelines
And gas wells blocking out the sky
Now I barely recognize the place
Where my father worked and died

If he’s looking down upon it
I know he’s turning in his grave
Nothing I can do about it
I’m just getting through the days

Black rain falling from the sky
Black rain settles on the ground
Black rain, black rain.
