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]
