|
Through plumes of smoke |
|
A few houses a blaze |
|
Your eyes scan over the water |
|
Where the city's outline is faded and erased |
|
Cries in the night |
|
After the storm |
|
Arms entangled in wave and wire |
|
Frozen below in the darkness |
|
Days float |
|
Buildings sway |
|
Tensions rise with the waters |
|
As the sense of your fears worsen |
|
What's at stake |
|
Once the levee breaks |
|
No one could imagine not returning |
|
Nor the shots that echo and ringing |
|
No second line |
|
Will lay you down |
|
The delta moon weeps and weeps |
|
As the tide folds it little babies to sleep |
|
'Neath the darkness |
|
Sleep now sleep |
|
Sleep now sleep |
