Flood II

and her hallway
moves
like the ocean
moves
and her hallway
moves
like the sea
like the sea

She says no no no
no harm will come
your way
She says bring
it on down,
bring on the
wave
She says: nobody done no harm
Grace of God and raise your arms
She says: face it and
it's a place to stay
This, this is the way it was
This, this is the way it is
When the water come
rushing, rushing in
She says
She says anytime
Raise your arms
Flood
And her hallway
Like...

Like...

Like a million
voices call my name
Like a million voices calling
Not now, not never again...
Sitting here now in
this bar for hours
Strange men rent strange flowers
Seconds to the drop
but it feels like
hours and I
Think I'm going to...going to...

This, this is the way it was
This, this is the way it is

When the water come
rushing, rushing in

She says..
She says anytime
Raise your arms
Flood!

And her hallway...

She says..
She says anytime
Raise your arms!
Flood

And her hallway...

As the water come rushing in
Like the sea
As the water come rushing over

Dream of the flood

In a flood of your
tears, in sackcloth
And ashes and ashes
And ashes and ashes
And ashes and ashes
And ashes and ashes and lies...

As the water come
rushing in, rushing in

At the head of the river
At the source of the sea
And her hallway...
Like...
Flood...


Andrew Eldritch (1987)
