Leave the Water Come

It's been raining down in this valley for far too long
The water is rising and soon this will all be gone
My mother taught me how to swim, when i was still young
I don't think that that'll help me, but i ain't gonna run
Been burning my belongings, just to keep warm
But this goddamn rain, doing me wrong
The water is rising, my stuff is all but gone
What did i do wrong

This has been my family home now, for more than sixty years
I raised my children in this place, it's filled with laughter and tears
My family have long since gone, i am the last of my name
Everything that i once loved, has been lost to the flames
But no man could make me leave this place, i dare god to try
Sometimes you've gotta stand, where you're willing to die

The fire has burned out, doused by the rain
I am soaked to the bone, but i feel no pain
So leave the water come down, let it do it's worst
I was born of this land, i will return to it's dirt
