Drown the food you were gonna eat

Take away your first born son
E MajorE
Watch him float away

Build these levees higher

As dams cut off desire

Waves crash on the shores

The spring will come with the floods

The warmth, and the early buds

If we could flow together someday
E MajorE
Then we will float away
