Boston Molasses Flood
Light, on a winter sun arise
With an azure cold and bright
And my sisters spin and stride
The Bay, like a ship toward it stray
In my mind to dance and sway
But my feet, the street, they stay
Sound, like a girdle pulled around
Takes my breath and weighs me down
Like a burden, like a crown
Copp's hill, horses drag their weight still
Cobblestones and Paul Revere's home
Seagulls rise over Ironsides
Shadow falls, molasses tank walls loom
A sudden noise blooms
Rooms, they collapse and consume
Trapped like rats within
Rail, elevated from the gale
Sees the city swim
Face, I turn to meet the Grace
And it takes me up within
Light, in the Mercy, all's right
And it takes me home again
Light, in the Mercy, all's right
And it takes me home again
Light, in the Mercy, all's right
And it takes me home again
With an azure cold and bright
And my sisters spin and stride
The Bay, like a ship toward it stray
In my mind to dance and sway
But my feet, the street, they stay
Sound, like a girdle pulled around
Takes my breath and weighs me down
Like a burden, like a crown
Copp's hill, horses drag their weight still
Cobblestones and Paul Revere's home
Seagulls rise over Ironsides
Shadow falls, molasses tank walls loom
A sudden noise blooms
Rooms, they collapse and consume
Trapped like rats within
Rail, elevated from the gale
Sees the city swim
Face, I turn to meet the Grace
And it takes me up within
Light, in the Mercy, all's right
And it takes me home again
Light, in the Mercy, all's right
And it takes me home again
Light, in the Mercy, all's right
And it takes me home again
