[Verso 2]
E
Love I found a flood
D F#m7
It trampled all the grass
A E
It swept the debris from the stone
F#m7
And cut off the underpass

The flood split all the seams

Of the fattened rivers banks
A E
And in its putrid water

The wrigglers writhed and stank

[Verso 3]
A E
Love I found a flood
D F#m
What a flood it had become
A E
Its fingers stretched across my spine
D F#m
Slowly blocking out the sun
A E
But you dont see the flood
D F#m
Do you my old friend
E A
You dont feel the dankness rising
D F#m
Or see the paths eroded end
A E
You dont see the city streets
D F#m
Shrivelled to a husk
A E
But my love youll never see
D F#m
The beauty of the dusk
A E
When the flood is lit like coloured glass
D F#m
Lying peacefully and still
A E
As it covers all the ugliness
D F#m
Of the citys darker will
A E
When it reflects clouds and handsome birds
D F#m
And old souls flying by
A E
You asked me why I love the flood
D F#m
And that my friend is why
[Refrão]

The flood is all around us friend

I wish you understood
