Hell and High Water Songtext
von Tall Heights

Through hell and high water we have said we′d swim
Of all we've thought, for all we′ve seen, we're in
Through hell and high water
Over, under, we would take the bridge
That salty wonder takes us bit by bit
And we're its plunder, like the Cape′s thin wrist
And left to ponder: fold or flex a fist?
Through hell and high water
When storms bring waves and
When waves bring tides in
Are we bold enough to think we′d win?
When storms bring winds and
When winds bring the hurricane
There's nowhere she wants she′s never been
Our levee's so much stronger now from testing them
But are they strong for what we will begin?
Peninsula is fading
Oh, bright city′s gauging
While the old man's hardwood floors remove again


When storms bring waves and
When waves bring tides in
Are we bold enough to think we′d win?
When storms bring winds and
When winds bring the hurricane
There's nowhere she wants she's never been
So open up your door and let her in
Bridges falling down, be patient
In this tidal town, keep waiting
When storms bring waves and
When waves bring tides in
Are we bold enough to think we′d win?
When storms bring winds and
When winds bring the hurricane
There′s nowhere she wants she's never been
The wise men open up and let her in
That sea ain′t waging war
It's just another storm
Then she will leave and you′ll be standing
