After the Flood (Single)

they were coming in the morning
they were coming from all sides
pulling every direction
but I can't make up my mind
so I emptied out my pockets
oh, I emptied out my heart
and I sang the song you taught me
in the dark of the backyard
oh, my brother, did we make it through the storm
with a flood between us and our blood to keep us warm?
we were climbing out the windows
in the middle of the night
trying to conjure up the feelings
just to get these motions right
but you stood out on the water
screaming warnings through the red:
"if you won't carry your brother
you build a gallows from you bed"
oh my river, oh my home
run forever, would you be my kingdom come?
all the children in the basement,
drenched in fear, but you'll erase it
and your heart may be divided,
but you won't lose it if you fight it
didn't we call this home?
didn't we call this home?
you know the tides will turn.
