I remember the day it came   Washed everything in a humbling blue   Highways and ferries the same   Drowned in the flood like the prayers we knew      And I lost all track of my time   And some other current much faster than mine   Took down the trees on the river   Like advice that would never be given      Lay back down with my eyes closed   I let all my air out of my nose   Let all the earth melt to glorious mud   Smiled for a while six feet under the flood      And I couldn't find my boots   The water, it was knee-high   So I lay in my bed   Stared out my window at the dry sky      And I woke up underneath   All that was humbled in blue   Realized I was more   More comfortable than my mother still      Laid back down with my eyes closed   I let all the air out of my nose   I let all my dirt melt to glorious mud   Smiled for a while six feet under the flood
