Mind Flood Lyrics


When it comes calling, will you heed the call?
When it gets heavy, now, will you let it fall?
And as the loon cries, it opens mindsThe stream reflects these Northern climes
Through these days, we walk the line
Sixteen dollars and a couple of dimesThere've been a number of times
Took a step back, couldn't read the signs
Cross the plains till they start to climbDown to the valley where the river winds
Sing it for me, sing it for me
When the water comes down, get yourself up highGrey skies, waters rise
Mind flood's gonna break the bank
Will it wash us away, now?
Will it wash us away, now?Blue skies, the river dries
A light goes out before your eyes
Till the break of day, now
Till the break of day, nowSing it for me, sing it for me
When the water comes down, get yourself up high
Goin' down to the river now
Mind flood's got my head in the gutterWill it wash us all away?

You come to with a shiver now
Flash back eighth grade with a stutter
Will it wash us all away?If love is a cult, we are all believers
Cruel, passionate underachievers
Fools lashing out at the dreamers
Kiss the enemy and kill the redeemerWe are indeed a dying breed
We are the people of the sky
So, when the river floods and you're made from mud
Get yourself up highSing it for me, sing it for me
When the water comes down, get yourself up high
Goin' down to the river, now
Mind flood's got my head in the gutterWill it wash us all away?
You come to with a shiver, now
Flash back eighth grade with a stutter
Will it wash it all away?Goin' down to the river, now
Mind flood's got my head in the gutterWill it wash us all away?
Whoa, come and wash it all away, all away
Get yourself up highThe wolf's eyes have found their prize
And you have found your place in it all
The wolf's eyes have found their prize
And you have found your place in it allWolf's eyes have found their prize
And you have found your place in it all
The wolf's eyes have found their prize
And you have found your place in it all

Sam Roberts is a Canadian rock singer-songwriter, based in Montreal, Quebec. His 2001 debut release, The Inhuman Condition became one of the bestselling independent releases in Quebec and Canadian music history.

Born in Pointe-Claire, Quebec, he attended Loyola High School and McGill University. Roberts formed the band William in 1993. The band's name was changed to Northstar in 1996. Although the band gained some notice in independent rock circles, they couldn't break through to a national audience, and broke up in the late 1990s. Roberts' bandmate George Donoso went on to significant success in indie rock circles with The Dears, but Roberts struggled for several years afterward.

In 2000 Roberts began his solo career by independently releasing his first studio album, Brother Down. The album was largely unsuccessful but the title track would later go on to be re-recorded and re-released on a six-song EP titled The Inhuman Condition. The EP sold slowly at first, but by the summer of 2002 Roberts was all over the Canadian airwaves: his first single "Brother Down" had become one of the biggest Canadian hits of the year, and the follow up single "Don't Walk Away Eileen" quickly followed suit.

Roberts then signed to Universal Music, releasing his full-length debut, We Were Born In A Flame, in 2003. That album's singles, "Where Have All the Good People Gone?", "Hard Road", "Brother Down" and "Don't Walk Away Eileen", became major hits, especially in Canada.

The band's album Chemical City, produced with Joseph Donovan and released on April 11, 2006, got major radio play in Canada after its release, especially the single "The Gate".

The band's latest release, the album Love at the End of the World (May 20, 2008), included the song "Them Kids", which reached #1 on the Canadian indie chart (the R3-30), and also #1 on CFNY's Thursday 30 chart.
