Down from the sky Up from the raging sea In the blink of an eye Water's all you can see All you could hear was the wind and rain Nobody told us 'bout a hurricane And if they had could we escape such a terrible sound? In Galveston There ain't no higher ground We had plenty of hope When this brand new century began Now there's six thousand gone Some say it might have been ten We're the finest country And the smartest too We certainly know more Than the Cubans do So Why do we bury our dead In the water Where they all drown? In Galveston Letras de cancionesTheir ain't no higher ground The rain gave up And the sea she laid back down No tellin' how long 'Til all the bodies are found Does Washington care? Does Houston know? We're an island in the gulf of Mexico Guess they'll be lending a hand As soon as the word gets 'round In Galveston There ain't no higher ground From Letras Mania
