Intro
Verse 1
Bells Ringing In The Battered Yard
Evicted This Morning, Thought You Might've Heard
At Five In The Morning, They Cut Their Way In
We Were Singing In The Kitchen When The Bailiffs Charged
We Were The Young Ones, Wild Things Playing
Barefoot Dancing In The Concrete Dust
Swimming In A River Of Smoke And Serotonin
Our Forgotten City Of Glitter And Rust
Chorus
I
Watched The Water
Rise
And I Held My Cover
Maybe For Too Long
Instrumental Break
Verse 2
There Was A Timе We Kept Each Othеr Floating
All Tied Together, Bobbing Up And Down
Thought For A Time, We Could Hold Back The Flood
But The Old River Rose And Swallowed Our Town
There Was A Time I Didn't Get An Answer
You Said All The Things I Wished You Had At The Start
You Cut Me Loose And Drifted Away
Tried And Failed, Wandered Apart
Chorus
I
Watched The Water
Rise
And I Held My Cover
Maybe For Too Long
Instrumental Break
Chorus
I
Watched The Water
Rise
And I Held My Cover
I
Watched The Water
Rise
And I Held My Cover
Maybe For Too Long
