The Flood - 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
