The Flood

1. Turn the lights out, in the light house, I saw you coming,

Am

Felt the ship wreck saw the wreckage, I heard you yelling,

Just a mess when I saw your reflection in the sand,

Wondering where you were washed up, or I ran to the water, Mmmmm,

I can put my hands down in it,

But I won't bring nothing up,

Am

Sitting on the shore all day,

waiting on the tide to come

R: But you can't hold on to water

It fills you up but never stays

It's only good to wash away today

and your loving me like water

Your slippin' through my fingers such

A natural disaster love

Bringing on the flood, the flood

Love me like a flood, a flood

Bring it on

2. Stay tonight out, by the beach house, it's all so quiet

Lit a candle candle, by the window, so you might find it

Hope you know you'll always have a place to call your home

Still, I can't help but think, I could have saved you from drowning, ohhh, oh,

I can put my hands down in it, yeah,

But I won't bring nothing up,

Sitting on the shore all day

Just waiting on the tide to come,

R: But you can't hold on to water...

*: I knew the waves were icy, when I felt them all retreating,

Went to take a dive in the deep end,

Woah, what was I thinking?

R: But you can't hold on to water...
