Lyrics

I took my first steps on these floors
Here I was born as my mother before
Saw the levels in seventy-four
Witnessed the highs, the lows of every downpour
Oh the river, how the water comes and goes
Oh, the river
Dad said skies are threatened
They have for millennia before our picket fences
Around here it's normal
When you live in the swampland to have an exit plan
Oh the river, how the water swiftly rises
Oh the river, how the water comes and goes
The water rose in the dark
Up around the legs of the bed where we slept
The water rose in the dark
Up around the table where we stood
The water rose in the dark up around the edge of the roof where we awaited rescue
Oh the river, how the water roars and rages
Oh the river, how the water swiftly rose
Oh the river, how the water roars and rages
Oh the river, how the water comes and goes
I took my first steps on these floors
Here I was born as my mother before
