Lake union flood

Lake Union Flood - MP3

This != Lake Union

Lyrics

i closed my eyes when i jumped in the bay
you led me through muddy flats and i forget
why i was so scared crossing Deception Pass
when i left behind the wires that had held me back

when lake union rose to your window
and my lips touched to your shoulder
with breath abated were you waiting
for an escape or did the flood find you too

we stared into
each others eyes of blue
oh my ranier
how i forgot you were here

when the storm breaks in your tower
with your hands as cold as ever
do you wish my warming wings would
swing you up and wrap around you, as i do?

[bridge under construction... thoughts?]
when the sound collapses you will know 
that we are the most persistent tone
bodies of water running out of room

when lake union rose to your window pain
and my lips touched to your bare shoulder blade

breath abated were you waiting?
and did the flood find you too?
