Jeff Black - Noah's Ark lyrics

rate me

Noah’s Ark

I weren’t expecting no rainbows

Noah told them cackling hens

I weren’t considered no sailor

and I hope that I don’t have to do this again

how many times can you fly out

and leave me with an open empty

hand this time will be the last time

I send that little bird to find land

for days it just kept raining

oh the rain just kept coming on down

I thought I’d never get a sign

and I thought for sure that I was gonna drown

then yonder her she come then flying

until that day I couldn’t sing a note

it’s hard to wait for information

and I can’t wait to dock this old boat

if I ever get to heaven

I’ll admit I doubted some

I’ll tell them everything that happened

and ask them why it took so long

and if they find my tools and timber

that I used to build her strong

I hope the fools that do remember

how on a sea of hope and faith

we drifted home

I'm pretty sure that someone will be there to meet us

Noah told them chickens to their face

and as he looked out from the mountain

he could see what time would do to this old

place(is everybody coming with me

it’ll take a little time to settle in

I hope everyone forgives me

because this took a little longer than I planned

you all hold on to one another

and you make damn sure that you don’t drift apart

then we’ll truck on down this mountain

and we’ll find a level place

to make a brand new start

then the sun just kind of peeked out

it was juts enough to make them feel assured

and the only thing that noah kept repeating

was that he sure was glad to see that little bird.

hello it’s good to see you it’s been a long long time
