The Flood
I remember the day it came Washed everything in a humbling blue Highways and ferries the same Drowned in the flood like the prayers we knew And I lost all track of my time And some other current much faster than mine Took down the trees on the river Like advice that would never be given Lay back down with my eyes closed I let all my air out of my nose Let all the earth melt to glorious mud Smiled for a while six feet under the flood And I couldn't find my boots The water, it was knee-high So I lay in my bed Stared out my window at the dry sky And I woke up underneath All that was humbled in blue Realized I was more More comfortable than my mother still Laid back down with my eyes closed I let all the air out of my nose I let all my dirt melt to glorious mud Smiled for a while six feet under the flood From Letras Mania
