And it rained, and it rained all night
Only a faithless folk asks for a sign
Said a prayer to god - wont you lift us up?
Save us from that flood.
Wont you save me from the flood?
Could of sworn I seen a dove, in his beak an olive branch and a hand of love
Just when you think you’ve had enough, remember how we used to sing
Cuz I’ve tried, oh how I’ve tried.
For 40 days and 40 nights
I walked the wilderness alone searching for a sign
Then I heard the serpent sigh, he said
“tell me boy, cant you live on bread alone?”
No. you can’t live on bread alone
Then I heard the widow moan, burying her baby’s dad in a purple cloak.
I said woman, dry your tears, the bird at your breast never disappeared.
He’s singing….
Oh, the night has become as long as the days when we were young
And I’ve tried, how I’ve tried.
