The Flood Came Fast
I saw the cherry arms and Chinquapin blades
The gleam and the yellow of a temple wall
The sands of the beaches at Limantour
The lay of the land before her fall
She watched the fools on streets of gold
She guards the memory of that place
And though the language is getting old
A song still lingers on her face
And she said you won't be the first
And you won't be the last I know
The flood came fast
And the kingdoms were the first to go
She lived too long inside those walls
And dreamed of gliding above the mast
Her wings were the words she saved for someone
Lost in the years that passed
And she said you won't be the first
And you won't be the last I know
The flood came fast
And the kingdoms were the first to go
The gleam and the yellow of a temple wall
The sands of the beaches at Limantour
The lay of the land before her fall
She watched the fools on streets of gold
She guards the memory of that place
And though the language is getting old
A song still lingers on her face
And she said you won't be the first
And you won't be the last I know
The flood came fast
And the kingdoms were the first to go
She lived too long inside those walls
And dreamed of gliding above the mast
Her wings were the words she saved for someone
Lost in the years that passed
And she said you won't be the first
And you won't be the last I know
The flood came fast
And the kingdoms were the first to go
