When the Water Rises

lyrics: Chasing after storms and looking into eyes
We will not be born of water and spirit and lies
From the bluffs I am leaping to the Lord above in spite
and I will not land in paradise

So close down the building and dim the lights
Set up some flares and dance all night
I'll grab you where you stand, whirl you with all my might
Take a trip on my wing when the fire's out

Where we're gonna go
Baby I don't know
Until the moment comes
I'll be banging on your drums
Where we're gonna go
Baby I don't know
When the water rises, I'll pull you from the shore

The beaches have been worn from shaking hounds
They're pawing at the door.. growling and sniffing around
Tonight I am dreaming that the Holy Ghost's a howl
But I will not sing it aloud

So come listen here, we're alabastar'd out
If you can't do it for me then do it for someone else
Go be a beaming light in a long night of darkness
You can circle all around but the tide's out
