The water rushes over me
heart beatin' like a river

Water, water
Rush, rush

And I'm all out of shame
and I've emptied my veins

Father, Father
Hush, hush

Following immersion
spiritual incursion
restoration of sight brought to mind

Water, water
Rush, rush

Wisdom, understanding
knowledge notwithstanding
my very thoughts had gone blind

Father, Father
Hush, hush

Expels the enemy- dastardly dealer
ensconced, encamped

Water, water
Rush, rush

Comes the Helper- unfathomable healer
reborn, revamped

Father, Father
Hush, hush

I drove over every road I know
I climbed so very many hills
Looking high and low

I crossed all the bridges
I combed every coast
I still get chills when I miss her most

Everything, everywhere is just thin air
And there's no wind to spare
She's not there

For 40 years the rains came
And the floods rage on
Heart's all adrift
Without helmsmanship
Or hope of getting home

I know where I belong...

In her *****
Within the fold
Behind her eyes
Outside the cold

But everything , everywhere is just thin air
And there's no wind to spare
She's not there

When you left me,
I found someone
Better to love:

*Myself.

I know love and longing
are not one in the same
So I make no delusions
of love and its pain
but I fell asleep softly
to the sounds of the rain
and in the torrent unleashing
It uttered your name
I promised myself then
to fear no storm again
And the longing grew louder
In the raindrops you stain.
