The Levee

There was a time when your waters had run still I don't know where, but those waters have died As you held hands with the hell beneath your feet You turned your back and waved heaven goodbye [Chorus] When the levee fell away For you lost more than yourself that day When the levee fell away Forever is just a word you say For all of the colors in your dreams have gone astray Just like a blind man who's lost his way As the clock ticks and the end is near You left town, yet your troubles are all still there [Chorus] This train has run out of track As the engines fade Far, far, far away, you fall And that's where you'll stay [Chorus]
