about

This track is inspired after seeing the debilitating flood damage still around in Lyons, Colorado even two years after the flood. The irony is the town is so serene and peaceful now and full of sunshine, but I can only imagine the immense destruction of the 2013 flood.

lyrics

The sidewalks are dust
And cracked like old skin
The houses abandoned
I could just walk in
The memories remain
In those that have left
Two years from flooding
The scars still show
Two years form flooding
Our memories still know

The money’s used up
The kids can’t play ball
The bases are all covered
They can’t run them at all

The shrubs of the river
Fill up the yards
Chain links and posts
Still stand guard
The sunshine deceives me
This place is so calm
Two years from flooding
Some have moved on
Two years from flooding
The ghosts are still strong

This town sits still
On the green grassy hills
Two years and counting
I remember the rain
Three years and counting
They’ll remember the rain
From the flood of Saint Vrain

Are there lesson in struggle
Lessons in change
Do the waters that move me
Wash me away
Im left in sadness
With the sights that remain
But the beauty of water
Is it washes you clean
The beauty of water
It washes me clean

The money’s used up
The kids can’t play ball
The bases are all covered
They can’t run them at all

But the beauty of water
It washes us clean
The Beauty of water
It washes away clean
