You've been relieved and warn us all
By the morning heat
Down to New Orleans
A heavy rain to silence us
And I will make it home
And you will wait at your post until
We're stronger where
And there is fight in us, I know
And I will take the early train
That it will take more than
They've anchored the rest at sea
When there's so much for us, I know
When there's so much for us, I know
That it will take more than
That it will take more than
And there is fight in us, I know
A heavy rain to silence us
The strain had broken us
And you will watch the ships come in
We're stronger where
If seas are dangerous
I will take the early train
And there is fight in us, I know
And there is fight in us, I know
Before the strain had broken us
Before the avenues are swallowed
I'll alert the citizens, I'll sound the alarm
Before the strain had broken us
The strain had broken us
And I will watch the ships come in
And I will take the back streets
Stronger than
They've tethered the ships in the harbor
We're stronger than
A heavy rain to silence us
But you should rest for a little while
