When I met her She was headed some place south-west And I should've let her I couldn't breach my house arrest She said we're too clever To ever coexist or coalesce I thought I knew better But she knew best Oh, she's like flooding rain And I never saw the weather change Two years together, four more apart But I've still got a watermark Well, I hear she married Some circuit judge out near Adelaide And her sister Sally Said all of the groomsmen dressed in suede Oh, but she still carries Some sort of semblance of a flame She took all of me except my name Oh, she's like flooding rain And I saw it in her eyes as she drained away Two years together, four more apart But I've still got a watermark ♪ Well she's got a son now And this Sunday he'll be three And her husband's hair's brown But that boy's as fair as fair can be His cheeks red as sundown And his eyes are as clear as sea You can't tie his tongue down Guess he sounds a lot like me Oh, he's half flooding rain And the other half's too scared to change Downtrod, down here in the dark Just scrubbing at this watermark
