Through plumes of smoke    A few houses a blaze    Your eyes scan over the water    Where the city's outline is faded and erased       Cries in the night    After the storm    Arms entangled in wave and wire    Frozen below in the darkness       Days float    Buildings sway    Tensions rise with the waters    As the sense of your fears worsen       What's at stake    Once the levee breaks    No one could imagine not returning    Nor the shots that echo and ringing       No second line    Will lay you down    The delta moon weeps and weeps    As the tide folds it little babies to sleep    'Neath the darkness    Sleep now sleep    Sleep now sleep
