Let the waters rise And wash the town into the sea Let the waters rise And find my lover where she sleeps
'Cause I don't where she is Or what company she keeps All I know is where she should be So let the waters the rise And bring her home to me
Let the waters rise I'm too tired now for searchin' Let the waters rise And hide the tears I've cried for that woman
'Cause it just isn't fair That she's out there havin' fun When I'm stuck and havin' none So let the waters rise And bring me my only one
And I've been on my own Sittin' by my window Waitin' by the phone for you to call And every time the wind blows I hear the subtle tone Of your laughter echo through the hall
So let the waters rise And set this lonesome heart adrift Let the waters rise May they be cold and swift
