Sarah Jarosz - Broussard's Lament lyrics

rate me

Storm it did rage on the coastal shore

Winds blew so strong then the floods came on

People cried what took so long for hell - to come along

Answers came cheap at the break of dawn

Sound bites playin' on and on and on

They told us Thursday they would come

They told us Friday they would come

Saturday came and still the dying lived on

The missing ones were lost, not to be found

They paid the cost, you let them down

Well we said what can we do just to make - it up to you

Oh you can try to make this up to me

All I have is lost, not much to see

They told me Thursday they would come

They told me Friday they would come

Saturday's here and I'm trying find my home

Oh the time is here, time to find my home
