Fire And Flood

Life was easy back when we were young
We'd wear cowboy hats
And play with laser guns
Days were simple like a guitar strum

They were the summer nights
No matter what the month
The world was smaller within our circle
We were so safe and warm

But now we're older
It's not so simple
We're head on with the storm

Oh, we've felt the fire and seen the flood
Oh, we're carryin the scars
Oh, we've played the cynic far too long
We will travel on

She walked in with a broken smile
Sister, rest your bones
C'mon and stay a while
She takes a seat and whispers thank you, friend
Then she looks my way

Says don't misunderstand
We had no armor
We didn't need it
We were so safe and warm
But now we're older
It's not so simple

We're head on with the storm
Oh, we've felt the fire and seen the flood
Oh, we're carryin the scars
Oh, we've played the cynic far too long

We will travel on
The world was smaller
Way back in Dawson
We were so innocent and charmed
But now we're older
It's not so simple

We're head on with the storm
Oh, we've felt the fire and seen the flood
Oh, we're carryin the scars
Oh, we've played the cynic far too long

We will travel on
Oh, we've felt the fire and seen the flood
Oh, we're carryin the scars
Oh, we've played the cynic far too long
We will travel on
