Delta Spirit - The Flood lyrics

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
