In the year of the flood, it occurred to me
Just how heavy the rain can be
Wrong in you and no wrong in me
In the year of the flood, it occurred to me

In the year of the flood, it kept coming down
All our friends were going around
Looking for something that can't be found
In the year of the flood, it kept coming down

In the year of the flood, we stayed dry
Cities sank, you covered your eyes
Even though we were just getting by
In the year of the flood, we stayed dry
