Meadows - The Flood lyrics
[Meadows - The Flood lyrics]
In those days, and also after
She had a child, a smile
She would look back
She remembered the laughter
It wasn’t hard, it wasn’t forced
But those calloused hands sing
Songs of remorse
But that man, if you can call him that
He packed his bags, walked out on them
And never looked back
Now she is all alone her boy, his face
A reminder of the pain she felt that day
When everything was changed
But that man, if you can call him that
Kept his foot on the gas
Took the turn too fast
And let the river consume him
No father at home a pregnant mother and son
An emotional wreck led to the father’s death
She recognized the car from
The newspaper she read
Closure was never an option
The vows that she read
Regret sinks it's teeth in
But that man, if you can call him that
Paired with pain and neglect
Chose himself instead he drowned to death
In his regret let the dead bury themselves
She had a child, a smile
She would look back
She remembered the laughter
It wasn’t hard, it wasn’t forced
But those calloused hands sing
Songs of remorse
But that man, if you can call him that
He packed his bags, walked out on them
And never looked back
Now she is all alone her boy, his face
A reminder of the pain she felt that day
When everything was changed
But that man, if you can call him that
Kept his foot on the gas
Took the turn too fast
And let the river consume him
No father at home a pregnant mother and son
An emotional wreck led to the father’s death
She recognized the car from
The newspaper she read
Closure was never an option
The vows that she read
Regret sinks it's teeth in
But that man, if you can call him that
Paired with pain and neglect
Chose himself instead he drowned to death
In his regret let the dead bury themselves
