When it comes calling, will you heed the call?   When it gets heavy now, will you let it fall?   And as the loon cries it opens minds   The stream reflects these Northern climes   Through these days we walk the line   Sixteen dollars and a couple of dimes      There've been a number of times   Took a step back, couldn't read the signs   Cross the plains till they start to climb   Down to the valley where the river winds   Sing it for me, sing it for me   When the water comes down, get yourself up high...      Grey skies, the waters rise   Mind flood's gonna break the bank   Will it wash us away now? Will it wash us away now?   Blue skies, the river dries   A light goes out before your eyes   Till the break of day now, till the break of day now      Sing it for me, sing it for me   When the water comes down, get yourself up high...   Goin' down to the river now, mind flood's got my head in the gutter   Will it wash us all away?   You come to with a shiver now,   Flash back eighth grade with a stutter   Will it wash us all away?      If love is a cult we are all believers   Cruel, passionate underachievers   Fools lashing out at the dreamers   Kiss the enemy and kill the redeemer   We are indeed a dying breed   We are the people of the sky   So when the river floods and you're made from mud   Get yourself up high....      Sing it for me, sing it for me   When the water comes down, get yourself up high...   Goin' down to the river now, mind flood's got my head in the gutter   Will it wash us all away?   You come to with a shiver now,   Flash back eighth grade with a stutter   Will it wash it all away?   Goin' down to the river now, mind flood's got my head in the gutter   Will it wash us all away?   Whoa, come and wash it all away, all away...   Get yourself up high...      The wolf's eyes have found their prize   And you have found your place in it all....
