The Flood Lyrics

Turn the lights out in the light house, I saw you coming Felt the ship wreck, saw the wreckage, I heard you yelling Just then, that's when I saw your reflection in the sand Wondering where you were washed up, oh, I ran to the water
I can put my hands down in it But I won't bring nothing up Sitting on 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 you're loving me like water You're slippin' through my fingers' touch A natural disaster, love Bringing on the flood, the flood Love me like a flood, a flood, bring it on
Stayed the night out by the beach house, it's all 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
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 you're loving me like water You're slippin' through my fingers' touch A natural disaster, love Bringing on the flood, the flood Love me like a flood, a flood, bring it on
I knew the waves were rising 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 you're loving me like water You're slippin' through my fingers' touch A natural disaster, love Bringing on the flood, the flood Love me like a flood, a flood, bring it on
Rising and the falling of my tears Rising and the falling of my tears that fill the ocean The ocean, the ocean My tears that fill the ocean, the ocean
