Here Comes The Flood Lyrics - Shaking The Tree - Peter Gabriel

When the night shows 

The signals grow on radios 

All the strange things 

They come and go, as early warnings 

Stranded starfish have no place to hide 

Still waiting for the swollen Eastern tide 

There's no point in direction we cannot 

Even choose a side. 

I took the old track 

The hollow shoulder, across the waters 

On the tall cliffs 

They were getting older, sons and daughters 

The jaded underworld was riding high 

Waves of steel hurled metal at the sky 

And as the nail sunk in the cloud, the rain 

Was warm and soaked the crowd.

5 Totally Underrated Christmas Songs 

Lord, here comes the flood 

Here we'll say goodbye to flesh and blood 

If again the seas are silent 

In any still alive 

It'll be those who gave their island to survive 

Drink up, dreamers, you're running dry. 

When the flood calls 

You have no home, you have no walls 

In the thunder crash 

You're a thousand minds, within a flash 

Don't be afraid to cry at what you see 

The actors gone, there's only you and me 

If we break before the dawn 

They'll use up what we used to be.

Drink up, dreamers, you're running dry. 

Lord, here comes the flood 

We'll say goodbye to flesh and blood 

If again the seas are silent 

In any still alive 

It'll be those who gave their island to survive 

Drink up, dreamers, you're running dry. 

Drink up, dreamers, you're running dry.
