Deacon Blue - Down In The Flood lyrics

Hard to be happy in your home town Hard to be happy when the sun goes down Hard to be happy when you're down, down, down Walk to the river And the river dont stop Try to cling on To the hands on the clock The clock keep turning And the river keeps rolling And the man from the ministry said People keep drowning ain‘t that sad Hard to be happy in your home town Hard to be happy when the sun goes down Hard to be happy in your home town Hard to be happy when you're down, down, down In the flood Joseph was a walking Down by the shore Mary was a talking 'Cause the weights getting more People are just floating Driven bythe wind Getting pulled down By the western swim I need some rope and some high mountain And some wheels of fire to leave this hurricane I need some ground and some real good friend And some God-blest-hope to hit the land again
