Here Comes The River

作词 : Patrick Watson

作曲 : Patrick Watson/Mishka Stein/Joe Grass

The windows turned to fishbowls

The city to seas

The cars were drowning underneath your feet

The children were swimming from the top of the trees

Crowds of umbrellas were staring in misbelief

Well Mary kept sewing

Holding on to her TV

Even if the water was rising past her knees

Here comes the river

Coming on strong

And you can't keep your head above these troubled waters

Here comes the river

Over the flames

Sometimes you got to burn to keep the storm away

Sometimes

Sometimes you got to just

Nobody told you that it was going to be this hard

Something's been building behind your eyes

You lost what you hold onto

You're losing control

There ain't any words in this world

That are going to cure this pain

Sometimes it's going to fall down on your shoulders

But you're going to stand through it all

Here comes the river coming on strong

And you can't keep your head above these troubled waters

Here comes the river over the flames

Sometimes you got to burn to keep the storm away

Sometimes you're cast adrift
