Here Comes the River

The windows turn to fishbowls

The cities to seas

The cars are drownin' underneath your feet

The children are swimmin'

From the top of the trees

Crowds of umbrellas are standin' in misbelief

Well, Mary kept sewing

Holdin' on to her TV

Even if the water is rising past her knees

Here comes the river

Comin' on strong

And you can't keep your head above these troubled waters

Here comes the river

Over the flames

Sometimes you gotta burn to keep a storm away

Sometimes

Sometimes you got to just

Nobody told you

It was gonna be this hard

Something's been buildin' behind your eyes

You're lost, but you hold on

Losing control

There ain't any words in this world that's gonna cure this pain

Sometimes

It's gonna fall

Down on your shoulders

But you're gonna stand through it all

Here comes the river

Comin' on strong

But you can't keep your head above these troubled waters

And here comes the river

Over the flames

Sometimes you gotta burn to keep a storm away

Sometimes

You gots to just
