Today the Water Came

Rain came down on my head
And washed night's dirt away
Cupped it in my cracking hands
Brought it up to my face

Never thought it'd be so good
To the taste and to the touch
Never thought a liquid full of nothing
Could bring to me so much

Today the water came
Washed the whole damn town away
Down the water came
Now I got no past left to blame
Not since the water came

Had my share of mornings
When I knew not where I was
Back on the street in a blazing sun
Squinting from deeds best undone
But no sun to be seen today
It's thunderclouds and heavy rain
Flying low and rolling black
A clap of thunder and a cry of pain

Today the water came
Washed the whole damn town away
Down that water came
Now I got no past left to blame
Not since the water came

Is this salvation or just another bend
A shot at redemption or just the bitter end
Drop by drop
Tear by tear
Got to believe that the water came
To take me home from here

Had a conversation with myself
Laughed a little, cried a lot
Suddenly remembered that
I remembered less than I forgot
Seems this change in weather
May be a brand new place to start
God knows where the new road goes
But I can't wait to depart

Today the water came
Washed the whole damn town away
Down the water came
Now I got no past
It's happened long at last
Now I got no past left to blame
Not since the water came
