When the waters came I was miles away Working on a rig up in Plaquemine They said I had no chance as if they'd seen a ghost No man on no bridge could keep me from goin' home. Now I wonder where you are Every living soul has a heart We were making big waves, crashing through a hurricane. I see tear drops falling from heavens above Oh and I see blue skies falling from the heavens above Oh and I see hope lost calling to the heavens above Calling for mercy above. Well, some they took north to Monroe, some were forced To the dome Poor old man in his shotgun shack never had a chance to go Still we all did our best when no one came to help We rowed all night down in the ninth keeping quiet to Hear for yells. Still I wonder where you are Every living soul has a heart We were making big waves, crashing through a hurricane. Cause I've seen tear drops falling from heavens above Oh and I've seen blue skies falling from the heavens above Oh and I've seen hope lost calling to the heavens above Calling for mercy above. The boat was filled with nine or so, gunnel to the waterline A shot rang out in a distant crowd Everybody's swimming, swimming for their lives. We were making big waves, crashing through a hurricane. I've seen tear drops falling from heavens above Oh and I've seen blue skies falling from the heavens above Oh and I've seen hope lost calling to the heavens above Calling for mercy above. Oh and I've seen tear drops falling from the heavens above Oh and I've seen blue skies falling from the heavens above Oh and I've seen hope lost calling to the heavens above Calling for mercy above.
