| When it comes calling, will you heed the call?
|
| When it gets heavy now, will you let it fall?
|
| And as the loon cries it opens minds
|
| The stream reflects these Northern climes
|
| Through these days we walk the line
|
| Sixteen dollars and a couple of dimes
|
| There’ve been a number of times
|
| Took a step back, couldn’t read the signs
|
| Cross the plains till they start to climb
|
| Down to the valley where the river winds
|
| Sing it for me, sing it for me When the water comes down, get yourself up high…
|
| Grey skies, the waters rise
|
| Mind flood’s gonna break the bank
|
| Will it wash us away now? |
| Will it wash us away now?
|
| Blue skies, the river dries
|
| A light goes out before your eyes
|
| Till the break of day now, till the break of day now
|
| Sing it for me, sing it for me When the water comes down, get yourself up high…
|
| Goin' down to the river now, mind flood’s got my head in the gutter
|
| Will it wash us all away?
|
| You come to with a shiver now,
|
| Flash back eighth grade with a stutter
|
| Will it wash us all away?
|
| If love is a cult we are all believers
|
| Cruel, passionate underachievers
|
| Fools lashing out at the dreamers
|
| Kiss the enemy and kill the redeemer
|
| We are indeed a dying breed
|
| We are the people of the sky
|
| So when the river floods and you’re made from mud
|
| Get yourself up high…
|
| Sing it for me, sing it for me When the water comes down, get yourself up high…
|
| Goin' down to the river now, mind flood’s got my head in the gutter
|
| Will it wash us all away?
|
| You come to with a shiver now,
|
| Flash back eighth grade with a stutter
|
| Will it wash it all away?
|
| Goin' down to the river now, mind flood’s got my head in the gutter
|
| Will it wash us all away?
|
| Whoa, come and wash it all away, all away…
|
| Get yourself up high…
|
| The wolf’s eyes have found their prize
|
| And you have found your place in it all… |
