| 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… |
