lyrics

Sandbag the floor, she'll grow bigger
It might creep higher but she won't flicker
The floods this year running ever higher
But not yet, not yet
But not yet, not yet

Can't taste the sweat of anxious summer
Waiting the the drop that overcomes her
The salts build up yet she's not bitter
But not yet, not yet
But not yet, not yet

The mangrove drops a leaf
That saves it from the salt
she'll do the dame
And won't fault
won't fault

Face the music
Bite the bullet
The bed's made but don't you lie on it
The leaf will fall
If you can kick it
But not yet, not yet

The mangrove drops a leaf
That saves it from the salt
she'll do the dame
And won't fault
won't fault
