Nick Lashley - The Flood lyrics

[Verse 1] Turn the lights out, in the light house I saw you coming Felt the ship wreck Saw the wreckage, I heard you yelling Just then that's when I saw your reflection in the sand Wondering where you were washed up Oh, I ran to the water, Mmmmm I can put my hands down in it But It won't bring nothing up Sitting at the shore all day, waiting on the tide to come [Chorus] But you can't hold on to water If fills you up but never stays It's only good to wash away, today And your loving me like water Your slippin' through my fingers, such a Natural disaster love Bringing on the flood of love Love me like a flood of love Bring it on [Verse 2] Stayed the night out, by the beach house, it's all so quiet Lit a candle by the window, so you might find it Hope you know you'll always have a place to call your home Still, I can't help but think I could have saved you from drowning Ohhh, oh I can put my hands down in it, yeah But It won't bring nothing up Sitting on the shore all day Just waiting on the tide to come [Chorus] But you can't hold on to water If fills you up but never stays It's only good to wash away, today And your loving me like water Your slippin' through my fingers, such a Natural disaster love Bringing on the flood of love Love me like a flood of love Bring it on [Bridge] I knew the waves were icy, when I felt them all retreating Went to take a dive in the deep end Oh, what was I thinking? [Chorus] But you can't hold on to water It fills you up but never stays It's only good to wash away Today and your loving me like water You're slipping through my fingers, such a Natural disaster love, bringing on the flood of love Love me like a flood of love Bring it on Ohohohoh Ohohohoh Rising and falling of my tears Rising and the falling of my tears have filled the ocean (The ocean, the ocean)
