There Rose A Flood

from Dearly Departed by Bannerman

/

lyrics

Come ashore
You’re too far out
Just move your arms about
Breathe in
It’s just that easy
Show me some heart girl
If you can, try doing it without me
I’d let you drown
If I thought that would help you to live

There rose a flood
Around your house
I’ll bring you sand
I’ll bring you sun
This time

All day it rained
All night you died
I’ll bring the oars
I’ll get you out
This time

Nobody but you is bringing this water
Buried in deep wells for twenty odd years

Run
Don’t look behind
You can never come back down here again

New land
Our clothes lie there
Drying in the wind
A quiet light
Has got you mesmerized
You’re a stranger to life child
If you can, try moving your arms about.
