Here Comes The Flood (Remastered 2009) - Peter Gabriel

Written by：Peter Gabriel

When the night shows

The signals grow

On radios

All the strange things

They come and go

As early warnings

Stranded starfish have no place to hide

Still waiting for the swollen easter tide

There's no point in direction

We cannot even choose

A side

I took the old track

The hollow shoulder across the waters

On the tall cliffs

They were getting older

Sons and daughters

Jaded underworld was riding high

Waves of steel hurled metal

At the sky

And as the nail sunk in the cloud

The rain was warm

And soaked

The crowd

Lord

Here comes the flood

We'll say goodbye

To flesh and blood

If again

The seas are silent

In any still alive

It'll be those who gave their island

To survive

Drink up

Dreamers you're running dry

When the flood calls

You have no home

You have no walls

In the thunder crash

You're a thousand minds

Within a flash

Don't be afraid

To cry at what you see

The actors gone

There's only you and me

And if we break

Before the dawn

They'll use up

What we used

To be

Lord

Here comes the flood

We'll say goodbye

To flesh and blood

If again

The seas are silent

In any still alive

It'll be those who gave their island

To survive

Drink up dreamers you're running dry

Lord

Here comes the flood

We'll say goodbye

To flesh and blood

If again

The seas are silent

In any still alive

It'll be those who gave their island

To survive

Drink up dreamers you're running dry

Drink up

Dreamers you're running dry
