water’s high and rising lyrics
[intro]
keep from the riverside
the water’s high and rising
i know i can make it
if i leave the past behind
[v1]
the storm was raging on
here was no end in sight
i spent the night in higher ground
where it was safe and dry
morning time arrived
and brought my greatest fear
the flood had taken everything
that i held so dear
[chorus[
god moves on the water
in the mississippi deep
took away my home and
stole my family
keep from the riverside
the water’s high and rising
i know i can make it
if i leave the past behind
[v2]
like a leaf i floated down
from river town to town
nothing i could find
but more unsteady ground
no message in a bottle
to tell me where to go
no one to meet me on the shore
and carry that load
[chorus]
[v3]
i think of every inch
that used to be my home
shadowing the miles
that i wandered alone
the years i’ve been away
they’ve clouded my mind
heavy weather everywhere
is all i could find
[chorus]
[v4]
now i find where i lived with my kid and wife
no matter how i’ve cried they won’t come back to life
i’ve returned again/ once and finally
on the the bottom of the river / to join my family
