Let the Waters Rise Songtext

von Justin Townes Earle

Let the waters rise
And wash this town into the sea
Let the waters rise
And find my love where she sleeps
‘cause I don't know where she is or what company she keeps
All I know is where she should be
So let the waters rise
And bring her home to me
Let the waters rise
I'm too tired and I've been searchin'
Let the waters rise
And hide the tears I've cried for that woman
‘cause it just isn't fair that she's out there havin' fun
While I'm stuck here and havin' none
So let the waters rise
Bring me my only one
(...)
And I've been on my own
Sittin' in my window
Waitin' by the phone fot you to call
And everytime the wind blows
I hear the suttle tone
Of your laughter echoe through the halls
So let the waters rise
And send this lonesome heart a drift
Let the waters rise
May they be cold and swift
