I never cried like I cry when I cry for you I thought that my heart was still waterproof It?s pulling on the anchor dropping far below A weight on my chest that I don't want to know
It?s pouring down on my street and it won't stop The water level's rising and it won't drop So crack another barrel open Drink up it's the end of the parade
The crowd dives for cover off the meter board They?re running for the shelter promised long before I'm stuck on this float that is sinking fast How could I believe that our love would last?
(CHORUS)
Forty days and forty nights Leaking from your bleeding heart
Flooding in the basement, damage to the roof Damage to the bookshelf and the records too Among those were the copies you forgot you lent So let the water wash away all evidence
(CHORUS)
It?s pouring down on my street and it won't stop The water level's rising and it won't drop So crack another barrel open Forget the parts that may be broken Drink up it's the end of the parade
