When the Water Rise Up

A song about storms, levees, and floods. A new song.

Three years ago, almost to the day, I found myself fleeing New Orleans. Now a new storm rises in the gulf and threatens to hit the city again, and I find myself revisiting some very bad days and a very bad storm. Lyrics: Chorus: When the levees bow And the water rise up And the water rise up Anr the water rise up Got no place to go When the waters rise up When the waters rise up When the waters rise up I hear the storm, man I hear it blow Ain't no storm can move me Got no place to go Wind whips the windows Storm's at my door Hurricane don't you blow now You ain't welcome anymore Flood at my feet now Ain't gonna scare me though Ain't no storm can move me Got no place to go

Um, what they said.

I've been thinking about NO this last week, and not that it helps, but motherfucker... please if there's a god let that city be OK. I love that city. And all you people there be careful and hopeful and take care of yourselves and those that need it most, because that's all I can hope for right now.

Beautiful song, AZ.
