Deluge

Little fires everywhere and I can't see their end.

Deluge

Verse 1It's getting hot again Hasn't rained since I don't know when There's little fires everywhere And I can't see their end. Chorus 1Rain, rain come and stay Send your roiling clouds my way Let them darken my day Bless me with the deluge Wash me away...! Verse 2It's getting so hard to breathe A little relief is all I need Vast blue sky open your seams Overflow the lakes and streams! Chorus 2Rain rain fall on me Til puddles become a sea Let the waters rise above Anoint me in the flood Drown everything I love Bridge 1There's a desert in my heart Where everything falls apart Someone tell me — When does the healing start? Verse 3I'm so parched with thirst Not a drop to drink On this scorched earth Pour out an ocean Roll me under the surf! Let me be submersed! Chorus 3Rain rain fall from the skies Soak the ground and fill my eyes Show me your worst Grant me the cloudburst Quench my aching thirst Bridge 2I don't know how much longer I can do this. So... I call out to the Zephyrs! North and South, East and West! Wake the winds to stir... The tempest! Crack the firmament and unleash the torrents! OutroThe storms subside, the floods recede The waters return to their rivers and seas I haven't seen rains like these Since I don't know when Little flowers everywhere And I can't see their end...
