Lyrics Highwater (Soldier) - Luther Dickinson

Highwater (Soldier)

Stranded on a rooftop
No help is comin'
I wanna rise up
So that at home
The highwater overflowin'
That highwater risin'
And we’re lost at home
My cup is empty
My mouth is dry
Old hands are beatin' down
From up on high
My cup is empty
And my mouth is dry
The old, dirty water
Is on the rise
blew out here
To the city
The devil runnin' loose
Lord, have mercy
Said the levy
«Lord, have mercy.»
The devil runnin' loose
He blew our levy
But God gave Noah
That rebel sign
Won’t be water
But fire next time
God gave Noah
That rebel sign
It won’t be water
But fire next time
Stranded on the rooftop
Of our home
Highwater risin'
No help has come
On the rooftop
Of our home
That highwater risin'
And no help has come
That highwater risin'
And we lost our home
