Levies

I walked home in the rain using lines on the road
Just to guide my way back to the place I was headin'
I took off my shoes and I let myself in
Tried to feel the warmth come back again

But this time the flood came a-poundin' my door
So I packed all my things and I started off walking
I knew you were close as the waves ate the shore
I could feel you breathing

Feel you breathing

You stood there beside me to fight
And we built our levies to last through the night
And dug in like Spartans waiting for light

The lights on the hill were a constant torment
While way down in the valley we toiled
You were wet haired and muddy
With your will and your back bent
But, what a beautiful girl

Oh, what a beautiful girl

Who stood there beside me to fight
And she built her levies to last through the night
We dug in like Spartans waiting for light

I know what you will say
Before you say it
Even at the end...

I walked home in the rain using lines on the road
To guide my way back to the place that I started
With every step I was closer to home
I could feel the rain start to hold

You stood there beside me to fight
And we built our levies to last through the night
And dug in like Spartans waiting for light

What a beautiful girl
