When it comes calling, will you heed the call? When it gets heavy now, will you let it fall? And as the loon cries it opens minds The stream reflects these Northern climes Through these days we walk the line Sixteen dollars and a couple of dimes There've been a number of times Took a step back, couldn't read the signs Cross the plains till they start to climb Down to the valley where the river winds Sing it for me, sing it for me When the water comes down, get yourself up high... Grey skies, the waters rise Mind flood's gonna break the bank Will it wash us away now? Will it wash us away now? Blue skies, the river dries A light goes out before your eyes Till the break of day now, till the break of day now Sing it for me, sing it for me When the water comes down, get yourself up high... Goin' down to the river now, mind flood's got my head in the gutter Will it wash us all away? You come to with a shiver now, Flash back eighth grade with a stutter Will it wash us all away? If love is a cult we are all believers
Cruel, pa**ionate underachievers Fools lashing out at the dreamers Kiss the enemy and k** the redeemer We are indeed a dying breed We are the people of the sky So when the river floods and you're made from mud Get yourself up high.... Sing it for me, sing it for me When the water comes down, get yourself up high... Goin' down to the river now, mind flood's got my head in the gutter Will it wash us all away? You come to with a shiver now, Flash back eighth grade with a stutter Will it wash it all away? Goin' down to the river now, mind flood's got my head in the gutter Will it wash us all away? Whoa, come and wash it all away, all away... Get yourself up high... The wolf's eyes have found their prize And you have found your place in it all The wolf's eyes have found their prize And you have found your place in it all The wolf's eyes have found their prize And you have found your place in it all The wolf's eyes have found their prize And you have found your place in it all
