The Levee

There was a time when your waters had run still
 I don't know where, but those waters have died
 As you held hands with the hell beneath your feet
 You turned your back and waved heaven goodbye
 When the levee fell away
 For you lost more than yourself that day
 When the levee fell away
 Forever's just a word you say
 For all of the colors in your dreams have gone astray
 Just like a blind man who's lost his way
 As the clock ticks and the end is near
 You left town, yet your troubles are all still there
 When the levee fell away
 For you lost more than yourself that day
 When the levee fell away
 Forever is just a word you say
 This train has run out of track
 As the engines fade
 Far, far, far away you fall
 And that's where you'll stay
 When the levee fell away
 For you lost more than yourself that day
 When the levee fell away
 Forever is just a word you say
