From the recording Prophecy Dam
Words & music / Andy Robinson
Got a head on my shoulders
Can't hold back the tide
A grave in the valley
A moment in time
But there is a season
When the waters recede
A small cemetary appears in the reeds
When the water rises I will lose you once again
I return, remember love so true
But I can't get back to you
I stand on the shoreline
I start to cry
Tears flow to the water
Tears blow to the sky
When the water rises I will lose you once again
I return, remember loving you, it's true
But I can't get back to you
Old lands will rise up
(when the water falls)
Buried under the man made lake
(buried lands are rising)
Time returns whatever the water takes
It's those little conversations
Remind me of you
All talk and chatter
'Bout things that matter
Like a morning in Spring
And all perfect things
We said we'd remember
But no, no, no
When the water rises I will lose you once again
I can come back to say I remember
Standing here next to Prophecy Dam
I can always say that I followed true, 'cause it's true
But I can't get back to you
