The Flood Songtext
von Delta Spirit

Dove, dove, you′ll be my dove, I'll take you as my love
As my branches grew, I knew you′d fly away
I stood tall and proud, the flood had covered the ground
As a deathly shroud, you were safe with me
Forty days and nights, the rain poured, the lightning striked
You were not alone for I was here with thee
Rest your weary little wings, it's just the two of us
Now the world had washed away and peace had come
Vail of silence fell, you hummed sweet like a bell
Soothed more that tongues could tell soon I was asleep
When I awoke the sun broke through the whole world was glassy blue
Right then that I knew, it'd never be the same
Rest your weary little wings, it′s just the two of us


Now the world had washed away and peace had come
Far off we saw some smoke, sweet lord it was a boat
How she stayed afloat, it′s a mystery
I lifted my branches high, reaching into the sky
Oh how you coo'd and cried, hope was found at sea
Twas then you took your trip, a long flight
The ocean′s grip, oh how my heart felt sick, I wept most bitterly
I've known the age, I lived so long, I′ve seen man come
And I've seen man gone, little bird we got it wrong, man had found no peace
I′ve known the age, I lived so long, I've seen man come
And I've seen man gone, little bird we got it wrong, man had found no peace
I′ve known the age, I lived so long, and I′ve seen man gone
I've seen man come, little bird we got it wrong, man had found no peace
