Broussard's Lament lyrics

The storm it did rage on the coastal shore Winds blew so strong, then the floods came on People cried, what took so long For our help to come along? Answers came cheap at the break of dawn Sound bites went on and on and on They told us Thursday they would come They told us Friday they would come Saturday came and still the dying lived on The missing ones were lost not to be found They paid the cost, you let them down But we said, what can we do Just to make it up to you? Oh, you can try to make this up to me But all I had’s lost, now I’m lost, you see They told me Thursday they would come They told me Friday they would come Saturday’s here and I’m trying to find my way home Oh, the time is here, I’m trying to find my way home
