Down In The Flood - Deacon Blue

Hard to be happy in your home town

Hard to be happy when the sun goes down

Hard to be happy when you’re down, down, down

Walk to the river

And the river dont stop

Try to cling on

To the hands on the clock

The clock keep turning

And the river keeps rolling

And the man from the ministry said

People keep drowning ain‘t that sad

Hard to be happy in your home town

Hard to be happy when the sun goes down

Hard to be happy in your home town

Hard to be happy when you’re down, down, down

In the flood

Joseph was a walking

Down by the shore

Mary was a talking

'Cause the weights getting more

People are just floating

Driven bythe wind

Getting pulled down

By the western swim

I need some rope and some high mountain

And some wheels of fire to leave this hurricane

I need some ground and some real good friend

And some God-blest-hope to hit the land again
