Floodwaters 03:47
Oh my love Winter is gone The grass grows green And Spring has come With it come the storms But we've weathered wind and flood When the rains come in Love you're enough When the flood waters come We'll get to the boats We'll both help row We'll stay afloat And when the sun finally shows And breaks through the clouds We'll float back home And sleep in our bed, safe and sound I feel The seasons changing The winds shift In the spring thaw under snow we'll find what we lost With the season's change all the damaged is replaced
2.
Step out of the car Oh my God we've come so far The camera's lens is laughably small You'll never fit it all Put your hands down Start looking with your eyes At the sun coming down Through the trees To where you are on your knees The light makes a flare Oh my God my eyes are open Overwhelmed by what they see
3.
Burnt out but You're still looking up Reaching for that space You have found your place Oh my God The skies have opened No darkness now Light is woken Morning wakes to darkness fleeing The light is so bright, and strange to my eyes As crows circle down through the clouds Sing for me to rise Oh my God The skies have opened No darkness now Light is woken The thunder roars My will falters Dreams have come Night is over Send the crows down To pick the dead off the ground It's time we were awake
4.
When I'm waking up and facing All I am and all I was Well, my heart won't be awakened By those who aren't in love And our memories and bruises We should leave them where they are They've got some good uses But I'm ready to restart When we go back to face it Will we really return To the homes that stand vacant Or the ones that we've burned? And when we rise from the ashes Will our hearts become whole And bring back old summers Of fireflies and bones All that we've lost In memoriam up on the walls Reminds us of all We were and who we've become And all that we want We keep in the homes that we've wrought And all that we love In the homes we've built in our hearts
5.
Rest your head on my shoulder Close your eyes get some sleep My dear, I have a feeling this year Hasn't shown us all it will be When the hard times come And we're in doubt When the rains won't fall And we're in drought When the summer's here to scorch the ground Wake up to another morning The days come by fast Put the kettle on, let's bring in the dawn Though it feels like the last And she smiles "We'll be alright." "I know." We've still got hope for hope All of the birds still sing All of the birds still sing All of the bird sing and fly through the trees All of the fields still flower All of the fields still flower All of the fields still flower and yield
