There was a time when your waters had run still

I don't know where, but those waters have died

As you held hands with the hell beneath your feet

You turned your back and waved heaven goodbye



When the levee fell away

For you lost more than yourself that day

When the levee fell away

Forever is just a word you say



For all of the colors in your dreams have gone astray

Just like a blind man who's lost his way

As the clock ticks and the end is near

You left town, yet your troubles are all still there



When the levee fell away

For you lost more than yourself that day

When the levee fell away

Forever is just a word you say



This train has run out of track

As the engines fade

Far, far, far away, you fall

And that's where you'll stay



When the levee fell away

For you lost more than yourself that day

When the levee fell away

Forever is just a word you say
