Katie Melua - The Flood Lyrics

Broken people get recycled
And I hope that I will
Sometimes we're thrown off our pathways
What I thought was my way home
Wasn't the place I know
I'm not afraid of changing
I'm certain nothing's certain
What we own becomes our prison
My possessions will be gone
Back to where they came from

Blame, no one is to blame
As natural as the rain that falls
Here comes the flood again

See the rock that you hold onto
Is it gonna save you
When the earth begins to crumble?
Why do you feel you have to hold on?
Imagine if you let go

Blame, no one is to blame
As natural as the rain that falls
Here comes the flood again

Wash away the weight that pulls you down
Ride the waves that free you from your doubts?

Don't trust your eyes (wash)
It's easy to believe them (away)
Know in your heart (the weight)
That you can leave your prison (pulls you down)

Don't trust your mind (ride)
It's not always listening (the waves)
Turn on the lights (that free)
And feel the ancient rhythm (from your doubts)

Don't trust your eyes (blame)
It's easy to believe them (no one is to blame)
Know in your heart (as natural as the rain)
That you can leave your prison (here comes the flood again)

Blame, no one is to blame
As natural as the rain that falls
Here comes the flood again, ooh
