what comes before the flood

his silence wakes me up

his majesty is running out of love

could've left me where i stood

to rumble through the mud

this charity in never giving up

oh you

have you ever thought of leaving me behind

i have to say the thought has crossed

my quiet lonely worried mind

and when you're less than near

i lose myself to fear

future lies and never looking up

and i just wanted clear

to wait for me my dear

there's chemistry in ocean in my blood

oh you

have you ever thought of leaving me behind

i have to say the thought has crossed

my quiet lonely worried mind

when nothing's adding up

there's jealousy and trust and beauty

in the sanctuary of us

oh you

i've never thought of leaving you behind

but i have to find a way to ease

my quiet lonely worried mind

hey

and let the light above you

shine endlessly for you

that's all i wanna do
