the liberating feeling of an epic rain in the country

lyrics

Flood Song
©2002 Alice Bierhorst/BMI

Over the hills and into the woods
Nobody there but me
Over the hills and into the woods
I'm free

Hissing of grass, a violent crash
Furious flash of white
The weight of the hoof
That runs from the muddy roadside

CHORUS
I'm gonna run
I'm gonna run now

Feather and wing carried away
By the wind that consumes the nest
Perilous perch sent spinning to Earth
For a long rest

Steam overflows its barbed wire walls
Trembling toward the sea
The place is landlocked
Far as the eye can see

CHORUS

Puddles connect and turn into pools
Crowded with maple keys
The more they collect
The more their capacity

When I'm soaked through I'll come home to you
Stretch out before the fire
Look through the glass
The water is rising higher

CHORUS
