The Great Flood (Live) - Joe Bonamassa

Heading for the great escape Heading for the rave Heading for the permanent holiday Heading for the winter trip Heading for the slide Heading for the dignified walk away Heading for the open road Goodbye to all that Heading for the automatic overload Standing in the open boat Standing in the swing Waiting for the ringing and the bright light Waiting to be recognised Quiet applause will do They shower you with flowers when they bury you You're holding on, you're holding on ... Just when I thought I'd seen the last of you You come here scratchin' at my door Your pain and anger's in the howling dark Of every corridor I walk So tell me more about the love that you rejected Tell me more about the trust you disrespected I still don't know, why did you hurt the very one Why did you hurt the very one That you should have protected? Don't ask me why I'm doing this You wouldn't understand You're asking the wrong questions You couldn't understand A bridge is not a high place The fifty-second floor Icarus would know A mountain isn't far to fall When you've fallen When you've fallen from the moon There's murder on the street I'm ashes on the water now, somewhere far away I have fallen, fallen from the moon

Turn the lights out, in the lighthouse I saw you coming Felt the shipwreck, saw the wreckage I heard you yelling Just then that's when I saw your reflection in the sand Wondering where you had washed up Oh, I ran to the water (mmm) I could put my hands down in it But it won't bring nothing up Sitting on the shore all day Just waiting on the tide to come But you can't hold on to water It fills you up but never stays It's only good to wash away, today And you're loving me like water You're slipping through my fingers, such A natural disaster love Bringing on the flood of love Love me like a flood of love Bring it on Stay the night out, by the beach house It's oh so quiet Lit a candle, by the window So you might find it Hope you know you'll always have a place to call your home Still I can't help but think I could have saved you from drowning (oooh) I could put my hands down in it, yeah But it won't bring nothing up Sitting on the shore all day Just waiting on the tide to come But you can't hold on to waterIt fills you up but never stays It's only good to wash away, today And you're loving me like water You're slipping through my fingers, such A natural disaster love Bringing on the flood of love Love me like a flood of love Bring it on I knew the waves were icy When I felt them all retreating Went to take a dive in the deep end Oh, what was I thinking? But you can't hold on to waterIt fills you up but never stays It's only good to wash away, today And you're loving me like water You're slipping through my fingers, such A natural disaster love Bringing on the flood of love Love me like (love me like) a flood of love Bring it on (Ohh ohh) The rising and the falling of my tears Rising and the falling of my tears that fill the ocean The ocean The ocean My tears that fill the ocean

She won't drive a Cadillac unless it's new She says gold is just a place to put my jewel I work double shifts for one more pair of shoes This livin' easy's getting hard to do My daddy said never spend more than you make And that advice I've always tried to take 'Til the day you walked into the room Now livin' easy's getting hard to do Keep it simple Man I'm trying Start out lovin' End up cryin' Loan me a dollar Some common sense Can't pay these credit cards on good looks and regrets Put a million in the bank but you need two Cause a man's gotta do what he's gotta do I'm going back to bustin' ass and singing blues This livin easy's getting hard to do Keep it simple Man I'm tryin' Start out lovin' End up cryin' Loan me a dollar Some common sense Can't pay these credit cards on good looks and regrets Put a tombstone in the back yard one day Hand carved under my name it will say Here lies a man who found out far too soon This livin' easy's gotten way too hard to do 'Til the day that you walked into the room This livin easy's getting hard to do
