Broussard's Lament

[Verse 1] Storm it did rage on The coastal shore Winds blew so strong Then the floods came on People cried what took so long For our help - to come along [Chorus 1] Answers came cheap at the break of dawn Sound bites playin' on and on and on They told us Thursday they would come They told us Friday they would come Saturday came and still the dying lived on [Instrumental Break] [Verse 2] The missing ones were lost Not to be found They paid the cost You let them down Well we said what can we do Just to make - it up to you [Chorus 2] Oh you can try to make this up to me But all I had's is lost, I'm lost you see They told me Thursday they would come They told me Friday they would come Saturday's here and I'm trying find my home Oh the time is here, trying to find my home
