[length: 05:36]
[00:22.58]I remember the day of the Tennessee flood
[00:28.81]The sound of the scream and the sight of the blood
[00:36.06]My son, he saw as the animal died
[00:38.75]In the jaws of the dog as the river ran by
[00:42.36]I said, “Come back soon”
[00:51.32]It’s there on the page of the book that I read
[00:59.45]The boy grew up and the yearling was dead
[01:08.44]He stood at the gate with the angel on guard
[01:11.12]And wept for the death of his little boy heart
[01:14.74]I say, “Come back soon.”
[01:31.90]We wake in the night in the womb of the world
[01:37.30]We beat our fists on the door
[01:41.81]We cannot breathe in this sea that swirls
[01:47.22]So we groan in this great darkness
[01:51.73]For deliverance, deliverance, oh, Lord
[02:08.90]I sit on the bench at the bend in the trail
[02:15.19]And I can feel in the fall the final exhale
[02:20.67]The trees of the field all wring their hands
[02:25.15]And the leaves go by like a funeral band
[02:28.70]I say, “Come back soon”
[02:55.73]We wake in the night in the womb of the world
[03:01.14]We beat our fists on the door
[03:04.76]We cannot breathe in this sea that swirls
[03:10.29]So we groan in this great darkness
[03:15.68]Are we alone in this great darkness?
[03:20.10]If nature’s red in tooth and in claw
[03:44.49]Then it seems to me that she’s an outlaw
[03:49.86]’Cause every death is a question mark
[03:52.54]At the end of the book of a beating heart
[03:56.19]And the answer is scrawled in the silent dark
[03:58.89]On the dome of the sky in a billion stars
[04:02.53]But we cannot read these angel tongues
[04:05.20]And we cannot stare at the burning sun
[04:08.86]And we cannot sing with these broken lungs
[04:11.59]So we kick in the womb and we beg to be born
[04:14.27]Deliverance, deliverance, oh Lord
