Calexico Drag Storm Around
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
