[Verse 1] She never boarded up the windows Grandma likes to say She rode out every storm Fryin' chicken just the same Now Dallas brings the lumber Puts new holes in the frame He fever fills in the old ones Calls his mama up in Maine It's lookin' bad again It's what the TV people say Oh, the water's so much warmer now But it always looks the same [Verse 2] Lappin' at the train tracks Basin thirty miles wide While the sun slips behind Like fire in the sky And it's rainbows in your front yard And it's sirеns going wild Oh, it's always been like this Don't go soft on us, child
[Chorus] And the waters risе Rollin' in the dark The rain keepin' time Beatin' like your heart But you sing anyway While the banjos, they clawhammer their old drinkin' songs And the monsters outside Oh, they howl along
[Verse 3] Trina worries from New York About her brother and their friends They're still sittin' in magnolias They're still listenin' to the wind She found a place in Buffalo Big wide rooms to sleep them all Half of what she pays in Brooklyn Between the highway and the mall But her grandma and her brother Oh, they're stubborn as they come They say go get on the subway Go and have a little fun And forget about the troubles That the Bayou sings alone You made it far north enough You don't need to come back home
[Chorus] And the waters rise Rollin' in the dark The rain keepin' time Beatin' like your heart But you sing anyway While the banjos, they clawhammer their old drinkin' songs And the monsters outside Oh, they howl alongTeksty umieszczone na naszej stronie są własnością wytwórni, wykonawców, osób mających do nich prawa.
