The Flood Lyrics & Chords By Cheryl Cole

Turn the lights out, in the lighthouse
I saw you coming
Felt the shipwreck, saw the wreckage
I heard you yelling
Just then that's when I saw your reflection in the sand
Wondering where you had washed up
Oh, I ran to the water (mmm)

I could put my hands down in it
But it won't bring nothing up
Sitting on the shore all day
Just waiting on the tide to come

But you can't hold on to water
It fills you up but never stays
It's only good to wash away
Today
And you're loving me like water
You're slipping through my fingers, such
A natural disaster love
Bringing on the flood of love
Love me like a flood of love
Bring it on

Stay the night out, by the beach house
It's oh so quiet
Lit a candle, by the window
So you might find it
Hope you know you'll always have a place to call your home
Still I can't help but think I could have saved you from drowning (oooh)

I could put my hands down in it, yeah
But it won't bring nothing up
Sitting on the shore all day
Just waiting on the tide to come

But you can't hold on to water
It fills you up but never stays
It's only good to wash away
Today
And you're loving me like water
You're slipping through my fingers, such
A natural disaster love
Bringing on the flood of love
Love me like a flood of love
Bring it on

I knew the waves were icy
When I felt them all retreating
Went to take a dive in the deep end
Oh, what was I thinking?

But you can't hold on to water
It fills you up but never stays
It's only good to wash away
Today
And you're loving me like water
You're slipping through my fingers, such
A natural disaster love
Bringing on the flood of love
Love me like a flood of love
Bring it on

The rising and the falling of my tears

Rising and the falling of my tears that fill the ocean
The ocean
The ocean
My tears that fill the ocean
