lyrics

Last night I dreamed of the floods
Water as far as the eye could see
And you drifting by on a mattress
Waving hi with your red lipstick on
You always did love the weather
Until the one that took your whole house down

Nana says “the storm it took it”
About everything she’s loved and lost and
Can’t seem to find anymore
Since water came walking through the door
Insurance man won’t pay for most
Saying that’s what you get for living by the coast

(chorus)
We didn’t know, we didn’t know is what we’ll say
We thought there was time, still left, time to face the day
How many tried to tell us?
How many storms across the TV screen?
I’ll light a candle for us
Pray we’ve finally taken all we, all we, all we need

Half my family works the pipeline
The other half’s still shipping coal
No man can see past his shadow
Making money off the guts of the earth
When I call you a thief, you call me a liar
The day ends with more fuel to feed the fire

Every night I’m praying for you
When the boats too small, the walls too high
Mercy seems just about run dry
Even if were all a hurricane away
From taking shelter in our neighbors back yard
Sayin' “can you spare me one, can you help me out?”

(music break)

We didn’t know, we didn’t know is what we’ll say
We thought there was time still left, time to face the day
Burning up
Drying out
Under the same sun
Left to figure it out
