Little Wings Fall Flood Lyrics

though I was cracking
i still felt so free
like seagulls relaxing
or leaves in the tree
thats how i was living
my boys were my backing
and loyal to me
our chest they were strapping
with snowshoes on our feet
and sand in our sheets

let the fall flood arrive
let us see with new eyes
please destroy this disguise

there was a lacking
no head on my arm
no one to look after
or keep free from harm
no one to bring songs
no love ever lasting
on dark canyon drives
the voices were cackling
and poking my pride
so i decried let the fall flood arrive
let it fall while i rise
let me gleam with surprise
let it lift up our life

so soon it came surging
i knew it by name
and so i was urging
its flicker its flame
and when the glow came
the lights were converging
they all seemed the same
the moment was merging
so i felt the change
the width of the rain

let the fall flood arrive
let it fill let it rise
let the grounds and the skies
be absorbed in our eyes
so go painting the sky
and be invisibly wise
let the fall flood arrive
