Flood I

And her hallway
Moves
Like the ocean
Moves
At the head of the river
At the source of the seaSitting here now in this bar for hours
Tryin' to write it down
Fitting in hard with harder to come
Tryin' to fight it
Down the river there's a ship will carry you
Down river, down stream
Down the river there's a ship will carry the dreamDream of the flood
Down the river there's a ship will carry the
Dream of the floodAnd her hallway
As the water come rushing over
As the water come rushing in
As the water come rushing over
Flood, floodPush the glass, stain the glass
Push the writer to the wall
It may come but it will pass
Some say we will fall
Dream of floodHush
And her hallway
HushOh, maybe in terms of surrender
On a backcloth of lashes and eyes
In a flood of your tears in sackcloth
And ashes and ashes and ashes and ashes
And ashes and ashes and liesHush
And her hallway
Hush
Like, like, like
As the water come rushing in
As the water come rushing overSitting here now in this bar for hours
While these strange men rent strange flowers
I'll be picking up your petals in another few hours
In the metal and blood in the scent and mascaraOn a backcloth of lashes and stars
In a flood of your tears in sackcloth
And ashes and ashes and secondhand passion
And stolen guitarsAnd her hallway
Hush
As the water come rushing in
Like the sea
As the water come rushing over
Dream of the floodIn a flood of your tears, in sackcloth
And ashes and ashes
And ashes and ashes
And ashes and ashes
And ashes and ashes and lies
As the water come rushing in, rushing inAt the head of the river
At the source of the sea
And her hallway
(Flood)
Like flood
Like
