High Waters

Rain keeps falling

Down 47 straight into my heart

And i keep praying

I can close the flood gates

And bolt the damn things shut

But no one knows just where the waters go

Or where loves river flows

So fall on me like rain and bring me to life

Turn out the banks of this riverbed

Where my heart died

I've been praying for a thunderstorm like you

For my whole life

To wash away the pain of yesterdays

Where flood waters rise

Its been 12 long months

Since i last got to call you mine

I never thought id heal

But here i am mending me through time

No one knows just where the heartbreak goes

Or where love's river flows

So fall on me like rain

And bring me to life

And turn out the banks of this riverbed

Where my heart died

Ive been praying for a thunderstorm like you

For my whole life

To wash away the pain of yesterdays

Where flood waters rise
