The Flood

She held her umbrella defiantly As the rain fell inside was made no difference at all She couldn't talk without crying, crying to me So after a while, we didn't talk much at all And I pretented to look at something down the road ... in the moon ... dawn She broke off our kiss to say something to me Sun was so low, shadow so long Please, listen to me She said "don't trust them, don't tell them nothing at all You got no chance on your own, they will just crush you They'll tear the flesh from your bones" The flood was so her ... Oh, bloody and broken she stared down the road I had the clear sense that she won this before But she look down familliar for a minute or more I have ... laugh that so typically you She said "is that not what your ... girls do?" As I traced with my thumb where her ring used to be And her eyes fixed on something that I could not see Please, listen to me She said "don't trust them, don't tell them nothing at all You got no chance on your own, they will just crush you They'll tear the flesh from your bones" Who betrayed who with the softness of kiss? Maybe I'll betray you, but it won't be like this Please, listen to me She said "don't trust them, don't tell them nothing at all You got no chance on your own, they will just crush you They'll tear the flesh from your bones" Please listen to me Please listen to me Please listen to me Please
