Mind Flood - Sam Roberts

When it comes calling, will you heed the call? 
When it gets heavy now, will you let it fall? 
And as the loon cries it opens minds 
The stream reflects these Northern climes 
Through these days we walk the line 
Sixteen dollars and a couple of dimes 

There've been a number of times 
Took a step back, couldn't read the signs 
Cross the plains till they start to climb 
Down to the valley where the river winds 
Sing it for me, sing it for me 
When the water comes down, get yourself up high... 

Grey skies, the waters rise 
Mind flood's gonna break the bank 
Will it wash us away now? Will it wash us away now? 
Blue skies, the river dries 
A light goes out before your eyes 
Till the break of day now, till the break of day now 

Sing it for me, sing it for me 
When the water comes down, get yourself up high... 
Goin' down to the river now, mind flood's got my head in the gutter 
Will it wash us all away? 
You come to with a shiver now, 
Flash back eighth grade with a stutter 
Will it wash us all away? 

If love is a cult we are all believers 
Cruel, passionate underachievers 
Fools lashing out at the dreamers 
Kiss the enemy and kill the redeemer 
We are indeed a dying breed 
We are the people of the sky 
So when the river floods and you're made from mud 
Get yourself up high.... 

Sing it for me, sing it for me 
When the water comes down, get yourself up high... 
Goin' down to the river now, mind flood's got my head in the gutter 
Will it wash us all away? 
You come to with a shiver now, 
Flash back eighth grade with a stutter 
Will it wash it all away? 
Goin' down to the river now, mind flood's got my head in the gutter 
Will it wash us all away? 
Whoa, come and wash it all away, all away... 
Get yourself up high... 

The wolf's eyes have found their prize 
And you have found your place in it all....
