The Flood Lyrics - Messy Little Raindrops - Cheryl Cole

Turn the lights out in the light house, I saw you coming 

Felt the ship wreck, saw the wreckage, I heard you yelling 

Just then, that's when I saw your reflection in the sand 

Wondering where you were washed up, oh, I ran to the water 

I can put my hands down in it 

But I won't bring nothing up 

Sitting on the shore all day 

Waiting on the tide to come 

But you can't hold on to water 

It fills you up but never stays 

It's only good to wash away today 

And you're loving me like water 

You're slippin' through my fingers' touch 

A natural disaster, of love 

Bringing on the flood, the flood 

You Love me like the flood, the flood, bring it on 

Stayed the night out by the beach house, it's all so quiet 

Lit a candle by the window so you might find it 

Hope you know you'll always have a place to call your home 

Still, I can't help but think I could have saved you from drowning 

I can put my hands down in it, yeah 

But I won't bring nothing up (no) 

Sitting on the shore all day 

Just waiting for the tide to come 

But you can't hold on to water 

It fills you up but never stays 

It's only good to wash away today 

And you're loving me like water 

You're slippin' through my fingers' touch 

A natural disaster, of love 

Bringing on the flood, the flood 

You Love me like the flood, the flood, bring it on 

I knew the waves were rising 

When I felt them all retreating 

Went to take a dive in the deep end 

Oh, what was I thinking? 

But you can't hold on to water 

It fills you up but never stays 

It's only good to wash away today 

And you're loving me like water 

You're slippin' through my fingers' touch 

A natural disaster, love 

Bringing on the flood, the flood 

Love me like a flood, a flood, bring it on 

Rising and the falling of my tears 

Rising and the falling of my tears that fill the ocean 

The ocean, the ocean 

My tears that fill the ocean, the ocean
