flood on the floor

She lost her voice down by the river Screaming for courage to take oceans under She read your mind and called it a terror Misplacing her sleep to keep the world nearer Don't forget the way she pushed the water inside Wading through the spirits like a flood on the floor Don't forget, forget Don't forget, forget Don't forget, forget Don't forget I'll miss keeping you I hope you're sleeping too I hope you're home She took your face and called it her choir Knitting lace out of lashes powdered with ashes She held your hands and told you to wonder How you'd fit in the land if the waves held you under Don't forget the way she pushed the water inside Wading through the spirits like a flood on the floor Don't forget, forget Don't forget, forget Don't forget, forget Don't forget I'll miss keeping you I hope you're sleeping too I hope you're home I'll take you out and up and light I'll bury you good and straight and right I'll take you out and up and light I'll bury you good and straight and right I'll take you out and up and light I'll bury you good and straight and right If you ask in that soft voice Don't forget, forget Don't forget, forget I hope you're home I hope you're home I hope you're home
