Levies

I walked home in the rain using lines on the road

Just to guide my way back to the place I was headin'

I took off my shoes and I let myself in

Tried to feel the warmth come back again

But this time the flood came a-poundin' my door

So I packed all my things and I started off walking

I knew you were close as the waves ate the shore

I could feel you breathing

Feel you breathing

You stood there beside me to fight

And we built our levies to last through the night

And dug in like Spartans waiting for light

The lights on the hill were a constant torment

While way down in the valley we toiled

You were wet haired and muddy

With your will and your back bent

But, what a beautiful girl

Oh, what a beautiful girl

Who stood there beside me to fight

And she built her levies to last through the night

We dug in like Spartans waiting for light

I know what you will say

Before you say it

Even at the end...

I walked home in the rain using lines on the road

To guide my way back to the place that I started

With every step I was closer to home

I could feel the rain start to hold

You stood there beside me to fight

And we built our levies to last through the night

And dug in like Spartans waiting for light

What a beautiful girl
