Here Comes the River

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 mis-belief   Well Mary kept sewing Holding on to her TV Even if the water was rising past her knees   Now 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 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's gonna 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 Sometimes you're cast adrift
