Midnight Flood Lyrics
I lost my luck in a midnight flood
The ship was sinking in the mud
A crooked moon cast the shadows on the shore
Floating on my back I wondered
If I was the man I was meant to be, meant to be
All of the sea swallows up my soul
With a tidal swell and a wind blown song and my words keep coming out all wrong
It's midnight flood
Lost my grip taken far below
Beneath the rain and the city glow
Miles away from where I started out
Thinking of you I wondered where you were
And if your life turned out the way you wanted
I hoped it would
All of the sea swallows up my soul
With the tidal swell and a wind blown song and my words keep coming out all wrong
It's midnight flood
Tried to find some meaning in the things we hold so close
But I think times we lose our faith alone
Dearly loved we'll crawl from the bottom to the top but now
Still it feels like we are on and off
I feel the waves crashing over me
The ship was sinking in the mud
A crooked moon cast the shadows on the shore
If I was the man I was meant to be, meant to be
With a tidal swell and a wind blown song and my words keep coming out all wrong
It's midnight flood
Beneath the rain and the city glow
Miles away from where I started out
And if your life turned out the way you wanted
I hoped it would
With the tidal swell and a wind blown song and my words keep coming out all wrong
It's midnight flood
But I think times we lose our faith alone
Dearly loved we'll crawl from the bottom to the top but now
Still it feels like we are on and off

As we cruised across The Canadian border You reached into your handbag Pulled out a micro-cassette recorder Started quoting Tolstoy into the machine I had no idea what you meant I guess I'm supposed to figure things out Or maybe it's supposed to be self-evident But I've gone feral And I don't speak the language anymore We're headed deep into the forest I've got the pedal to the floor The engine shudders like a dying man When you reach out to grab my hand You can bring out all your weapons You can't make me go to war Long, winding Canadian highways Innumerable evergreens Weather forecast on the AM radio Says we'll be expecting highs in the low teens When I mouth my silent curses at you I can see my breath I hope the stars don't even come out tonight I hope we both freeze to death Look at the person I've turned into Tell me, how do you like him now? No standards of any kind to break No creeds to disavow I am right here where you want me Do what you brought me out here for You can arm me to the teeth You can't make me go to war
