Songtext von Water Rushing In

This town’s three hours from nowhere White shirts will never see what made me They found where the gold was plundered Took and they looked so indolently My whole family left the dairy farm And my uncle sold our quota I crossed the mountains and I made a start I played my part but the axe it chose me In dreams of iron I felt violent when my saw went Got used to falling so I went calling on a friend Dove off my island, I fell silent and I swam And it got harder, I felt the water rushing in Dreamt that I drove into a hellish squalor I left my lover just like my father did When I woke up I felt just like a child I sat up in my chair and straightened up my collar Sometimes you get a windless warning I wish I would have listened back in my days old ‘Cause I once lived to take the forest away And I can never go back to my home once it’s sold In dreams of iron I felt violent when my saw went Got used to falling so I went calling on a friend Dove off my island, I fell silent and I swam And it got harder, I felt the water rushing in
