soul asylum - high & dry lyrics

where the levee broke the flood
came down and washed away
our little town, grandma floated out to sea
i saw her looking back at me
so, i swam down to 2nd street
i touched the trees beneath my feet
there was nothing i could do
but float away into the blue

floating over trees, face up to the sky
hoping desperately to be high & dry
to be high & dry

with nothing i could hold on to
all i could do was think of you
safe and warm so far away
perhaps we’ll meet again someday

i could not sleep as it grew dark
alligators, rats and sharks
but that was oh so long ago
oh, where did everybody go
see me drifting by wishing i could fly
i’d do anything to be high & dry
to be high & dry
i fantasize thе higher ground i felt
that soon i’d probably drown
the watеr rose, for sure i’d sink
i only wanted one last drink
the bar was somewhere under me
as i became one with the sea
it’s not the way i planned to die
i took one last look at the sky

sweet oxygen, dear old friend of mine
i can make amends and be high & dry
and be high & dry

i closed my eyes and held my breath
thought what the h+ll, i’ll put off death
and just as i thought life was lost
my shoelace snagged the big old cross

i balanced there upon the steeple
searching for the rescue people
i heard of being saved by the church man
how could things get much worse

then the sun came up
split the black cloud sky
the reservoir filled up
and the flood began to subside
i was hung out to dry, a tear
falling from my eye
way up in the air
hanging on for dear life
looking for the rescue squad
i was high & dry
i was high & dry
