| The Flood | ||||||||||||||||||||||
| When the rivers flew over their banks And the floods covered the land And tallest mountain was the only spot On which woman could stand I had an ark That could sail out far And hit the rocks But never stop When Noah saved the ones we kill And left you hopeless on a hill I came along and rescued you And fainted weary by you, too We had an ark Navigating in the dark We had a ship That couldn't split When all was rain and pouring skies And the rain would never cease For forty nights we held our place Making love atop the trees In flooded and delug�d peace In antediluvian dreams We would never cease We would never cease When the rivers flew over their brims And the lakes made oceans wide And tallest mountain twas underwater And all the light did hide I had an ark Pulled you onto my heart I had an ark That could sail out far |
