Mind Flood - Sam Roberts

When it comes calling, will you heed the call?

When it gets heavy now, will you let it fall?

And as the loon cries it opens minds

The stream reflects these Northern climes

Through these days we walk the line

Sixteen dollars and a couple of dimes

There’ve been a number of times

Took a step back, couldn’t read the signs

Cross the plains till they start to climb

Down to the valley where the river winds

Sing it for me, sing it for me When the water comes down, get yourself up high…

Grey skies, the waters rise

Mind flood’s gonna break the bank

Will it wash us away now?

Will it wash us away now?

Blue skies, the river dries

A light goes out before your eyes

Till the break of day now, till the break of day now

Sing it for me, sing it for me When the water comes down, get yourself up high…

Goin' down to the river now, mind flood’s got my head in the gutter

Will it wash us all away?

You come to with a shiver now,

Flash back eighth grade with a stutter

Will it wash us all away?

If love is a cult we are all believers

Cruel, passionate underachievers

Fools lashing out at the dreamers

Kiss the enemy and kill the redeemer

We are indeed a dying breed

We are the people of the sky

So when the river floods and you’re made from mud

Get yourself up high…

Sing it for me, sing it for me When the water comes down, get yourself up high…

Goin' down to the river now, mind flood’s got my head in the gutter

Will it wash us all away?

You come to with a shiver now,

Flash back eighth grade with a stutter

Will it wash it all away?

Goin' down to the river now, mind flood’s got my head in the gutter

Will it wash us all away?

Whoa, come and wash it all away, all away…

Get yourself up high…

The wolf’s eyes have found their prize

And you have found your place in it all…
