From the recording Brightland Shines
Lyrics
Scattered skulls and bones in the brush, in the reeds and rushes down by the river
Suddenly somebody pulls up, in his pickup truck here long time ago
Such a strange conversation, bout things we know and don’t know we don’t know
…..And it happened such a long time ago
Hundred year flood, took a friend or two I love. From a heavy sky unseen
Left us broken, washed us clean
Hundred year flood, from a power up on high. None of us is dry.
We’ll rebuild it by and by
Looking off into the West now, I could sense some motion in my being
Men helping women and children over rocks and tree stumps up the canyon
Some dark forces below there, like rolling thunder chasing the fragile wind
…..And you know my friend it’s happening again
Hundred year flood, took a friend or two I love. From a heavy sky unseen
Left us broken, washed us clean
Hundred year flood, from a power up on high. None of us is dry.
We’ll rebuild it by and by
Ain’t been the same since the flood
Ain’t been the same since the flood
Can’t put my finger on it, something has changed
Ain’t been the same since the flood
Hundred year flood, took a friend or two I love. From a heavy sky unseen
Left us broken, washed us clean
Hundred year flood, from a power up on high. None of us is dry.
We’ll rebuild it by and by
