Intro: Let the waters rise wash this town into the sea Let the waters rise and find my lover where she sleeps cause i don't know where she is or what company she keeps all i know is where she should be so let the waters rise and bring her home to me Let the waters rise I'm too tired now for searching Let the waters rise and hide the tears i cried for that woman coz it just isn't fair that she's out there havin' fun when I'm stuck here and having none so let the waters rise bring me my only one and I've been on my own sitting in my window waiting by the phone for you to call and every time a wind blows i hear the subtle tone of your laughter echo through the hall Let the waters rise set this lonesome heart adrift Let the waters rise may they be cold and swift
