Felicity movie - Here Comes The Flood lyrics

rate me

Song by Peter Gabriel<br /><br>

When the night shows<br>

the signals grow on radios<br>

All the strange things<br>

they come and go, as early warnings<br>

Stranded starfish have no place to hide<br>

still waiting for the swollen Easter tide<br>

There's no point in direction we cannot<br>

even choose a side.<br>

<br>

I took the old track<br>

the hollow shoulder, across the waters<br>

On the tall cliffs<br>

they were getting older, sons and daughters<br>

The jaded underworld was riding high<br>

Waves of steel hurled metal at the sky<br>

and as the nail sunk in the cloud, the rain<br>

was warm and soaked the crowd.<br>

<br>

Lord, here comes the flood<br>

We'll say goodbye to flesh and blood<br>

If again the seas are silent<br>

in any still alive<br>

It'll be those who gave their island to survive<br>

Drink up, dreamers, you're running dry.<br>

<br>

When the flood calls<br>

You have no home, you have no walls<br>

In the thunder crash<br>

You're a thousand minds, within a flash<br>

Don't be afraid to cry at what you see<br>

The actors gone, there's only you and me<br>

And if we break before the dawn, they'll<br>

use up what we used to be.<br>

<br>

Lord, here comes the flood<br>

We'll say goodbye to flesh and blood<br>

If again the seas are silent<br>

in any still alive<br>

It'll be those who gave their island to survive<br>

Drink up, dreamers, you're running dry.<br>

<br>

[Repeat chorus once]<br>

<br>
