Forty Days Lyrics - I'm A Stranger Here - The Devil Makes Three

Wouldn't take long for the rivers 'round here to rise 

Wouldn't take long for the rivers 'round here to rise 

Wouldn't take long for the rivers to rise 

There wouldn't be nothing but the sea and the sky 

Wouldn't take long for the rivers 'round here to rise 

Forty days and forty nights 

Forty days and forty nights 

Forty days and forty nights 

Forty days and forty nights 

Forty days and nights of rain and we would start all over again 

In just forty days and forty nights of rain 

The wind and rain will not knock upon your door 

The wind and rain will not knock upon your door 

The wind and rain, they came before anybody knew what 

a door was for 

The wind and rain will not knock upon the door 

Forty days and forty nights 

Forty days and forty nights 

Forty days and forty nights 

Forty days and forty nights 

Forty days and nights of rain and we would start all over again 

In just forty days and forty nights of rain 

Cities they are built and then they're broken 

Nothing lasts forever, so they say 

We all know how long it took to build this 

But how long would it take now just to wash it all away 

These fools believe that they can control the tide 

These fools believe that they can turn the tide 

No one turns the tide and everybody swims when the waters rise 

These fools believe that they can turn the tide 

Forty days and forty nights 

Forty days and forty nights 

Forty days and forty nights 

Forty days and forty nights 

Forty days and nights of rain and we would start all over again 

In just forty days and forty nights of rain
