Hell and High Water

[Verse 1]

Through hell and high water we have said we'd swim

Of all we've thought for all we've seen, we're in

Through hell and high water

Over under we would take the bridge

That salty wonder takes us bit by bit

And we're its plunder like the Cape's thin wrist

And left to ponder fold or flex a fist?

Through hell and high water

[Chorus]

When storms bring waves and

When waves bring tides in

Are we bold enough to think we'd win?

When storms bring winds and

When winds bring the hurricane

There's nowhere she wants she's never been

[Verse 2]

Our levee's so much stronger now from testing them

But are they strong for what we will begin?

Peninsula is fading

Oh, bright city's gauging

While the old man's hardwood floors remove again

[Chorus]

When storms bring waves and

When waves bring tides in

Are we bold enough to think we'd win?

When storms bring winds and

When winds bring the hurricane

There's nowhere she wants she's never been

So open up your door and let her in

[Bridge]

Bridges falling down, be patient

In this tidal town, keep waiting

[Chorus]

When storms bring waves and

When waves bring tides in

Are we bold enough to think we'd win?

When storms bring winds and

When winds bring the hurricane

There's nowhere she wants she's never been

The wise men open up and let her in

And sea ain't waging war

It's just another storm

Then she will leave and you'll be standing
