Will this circle
Be unbroken
And my children’s
Face turn blue
Will these rolling hills
Turn brown and crunch
Will the sky
Turn a pale hue

Oh will I see
All these lovely
Morbid things
Morbid things

Oh will you know
How to comfort
And lay with me
Lay with me

Oh the shadow’s star
Twinkling brightly
Is setting soon
Setting soon
And my window
Shut so tightly
Will open soon
Open soon

When the waters stopped
Stopped flowing
Will I thirst babe
Will I thirst
Oh when these waters swell
And overflow me
Will I drown babe
Will I drown

Can you answer
All my questions
And let my thought
Slow their pace
Will you meet my
All my questions
With some hast
Oh with some haste
Cus the waters are
Getting higher
And I can’t swim
Babe I can’t swim
