lyrics

Flood
-------

When the river wears the levee down
And we've got to run to higher ground
When fear and flood are all around
And it feels like we won't be for long

When the waters well up and the floodgates give way
And the tears all but drown what you're trying to say
When your quivering voice is submerged in dismay
And it seems you can't suffer the storm

Waters may rise, hard rains may fall
And wash all the blame from your hands
Well after the storm, when fear changes form
You'll find your feet buried in sand

It's the kiss on the lips of infatuous tongues
It's the taste of the mouth stealing breath from your lungs
It's that moment in peril, as time lingers long
It's the sound of naïvete's song

So let tears of the surf salt your eyelids with mist
As the tides take you further into the abyss
For solace and heartache shall soon be dismissed
By an ocean, indifferent and strong.

Waters may rise, hard rains may fall
And wash all the blame from our hands
But after the storm, when fear changes form
We'll find ourselves buried in sand.
