Forty Days

Wouldn't take long for the rivers 'round here to rise Wouldn't take long for the rivers 'round here to rise Wouldn't take long for the rivers to rise There wouldn't be nothing but the sea and the sky Wouldn't take long for the rivers 'round here to rise Forty days and forty nights Forty days and forty nights Forty days and forty nights Forty days and forty nights Forty days and nights of rain and we would start all over again In just forty days and forty nights of rain The wind and rain will not knock upon your door The wind and rain will not knock upon your door The wind and rain, they came before anybody knew what A door was for The wind and rain will not knock upon the door Cities they are built and then they're broken Nothing lasts forever, so they say We all know how long it took to build this But how long would it take now just to wash it all away These fools believe that they can control the tide These fools believe that they can turn the tide No one turns the tide and everybody swims when the waters rise These fools believe that they can turn the tide
