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..
