lyrics

They told me keep your powder dry
Easier said than done
As I watch the waters risin’
Lord help us everyone
Heard it on the TV:
Judgement Day’s begun
I watch the water risin’
High water risin’
I watch the water risin’

They handed me a tinderbox
And a bellows for to blow
On a kindling of love letters
I set that pile aglow
A feeble protestation
Against the onward flow
I watch the water risin’
High water risin’
I watch the water risin’

High water risin’ - shook me from my sleep
Open my eyes and all I can see
High water risin’ - I look into the deep
See the water, water, water…

They tried to reassure me
My tears were not to blame
For the flooding of Manhattan
That’s far too big a claim
You’re just one among the many
Failed keepers of the flame
Now you must watch the water risin’
High water risin’
You must watch the water risin’
