The Flood

Turn the lights out, in the light house,
I saw you coming,
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,
Oh I ran to the water, Mmmmm,
I can put my hands down in it,
But I won't bring nothing up,
Sitting at the shore all day, waiting on the tide to come

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,
You're slipping through my fingers, such
Natural disaster love, bringing on the flood,
The flood,
Love me like a flood, the flood,
Bring it on,

Stay the night out, by the beach house,
It's oh so quiet,
Lit a 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,

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,
You're slipping through my fingers, such
Natural disaster love, bringing on the flood,
The flood,
Love me like a flood, the flood,
Bring it on,

I knew the waves were icy, when I felt them all retreating,
Went to take a dive in the deep end,
Oh, what was I thinking?

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,
You're slipping through my fingers, such
Natural disaster love, bringing on the flood,
The flood,
Love me like a flood, the flood,
Bring it on,
Ohohohoh Ohohohoh
Rising and falling in my dreams,
Rising and the falling of my tears that fill the ocean,
(the ocean, the ocean)
