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
|
