"Down In The Flood" lyrics
"Down In The Flood"
Hard to be happy in your home town
Hard to be happy when the sun goes down
Hard to be happy when you're down, down, down
Walk to the river
And the river dont stop
Try to cling on
To the hands on the clock
The clock keep turning
And the river keeps rolling
And the man from the ministry said
People keep drowning ain‘t that sad
Hard to be happy in your home town
Hard to be happy when the sun goes down
Hard to be happy in your home town
Hard to be happy when you're down, down, down
In the flood
Joseph was a walking
Down by the shore
Mary was a talking
'Cause the weights getting more
People are just floating
Driven bythe wind
Getting pulled down
By the western swim
I need some rope and some high mountain
And some wheels of fire to leave this hurricane
I need some ground and some real good friend
And some God-blest-hope to hit the land again

That breaks the grip of caution

The Blue Nile - "From A Late Night Train" From a late night train
Reflected in the water
When all the rainy pavement
Lead to you
It's over now
I know it's over
But I can't let go
The cigarettes, the magazines
All stacked up in the rain...
