Calexico - Drag Storm Around lyrics

Through plumes of smoke

A few houses a blaze

Your eyes scan over the water

Where the city's outline is faded and erased

Cries in the night

After the storm

Arms entangled in wave and wire

Frozen below in the darkness

Days float

Buildings sway

Tensions rise with the waters

As the sense of your fears worsen

What's at stake

Once the levee breaks

No one could imagine not returning

Nor the shots that echo and ringing

No second line

Will lay you down

The delta moon weeps and weeps

As the tide folds it little babies to sleep

'neath the darkness

Sleep now sleep
