lyrics

when it rains five days
and the skies turn dark as night
there's trouble coming
to the low lands tonight

woke up this morning
can't get out my door
it's time for leaving
but I don't know where to go

they rowed a little boat
out across the pond
packed my bags
threw them in
and they rowed me along

when it rains five days
and the sky turns dark as night
there's trouble coming
to the low lands tonight

Simone White

"Simone White has a voice like ether. It's sweetly airy and hypnotic. Hearing it can pull you under to a strangely beautiful, glittering world where nothing seems real." - NPR
