Before the Flood
R. DAWSON & S. FINK
Come on baby, won't you come back home
Angel eyes won't leave me alone
Come on baby, won't you come back home
You know you've been gone way too long
The battered bayou here in the rain
Sometimes feelings are hard to explain
The battered bayou here in the rain
Look at you, you know you feel the same
Remember those days before the flood
Think I met you when you were thirty-one
Tried so hard to get to you
Yeah I know baby you were thirty-two
You know they heard about it on the news
We were in the dark, so confused
You know they heard about it on the news
Love you more than ever and that's the truth
Just when we thought that we reached the end
Trees bending in a hurricane wind
Just when we thought that we reached the end
Picked up the pieces, now we're on the mend
Remember those days before the flood
Think I was born in '61
Pick up a fiddle, I'll strike you a chord
Sing you a song that you wanna hear more
Remember those days before the flood
Think I met you when you were thirty-one
Tried so hard to get to you
Yeah I know baby you were thirty-two
Remember those days before the flood
Think I was born in '61
Pick up a fiddle, I'll strike you a chord
Sing you a song that you wanna hear more
