Noah's Children Songtext
Split-level ranch on a mid-level street
Mailboxes huddled where the cul-de-sac meets
And nothing ever happens, so we're led to believe
So I couldn't believe it as I opened the door
I had never imagined something like that before
And though it was real, it was so much more
She says the world's ending, but it's ending all the time
Noah's children
Mailboxes huddled where the cul-de-sac meets
And nothing ever happens, so we're led to believe
So I couldn't believe it as I opened the door
I had never imagined something like that before
And though it was real, it was so much more
She says the world's ending, but it's ending all the time
Noah's children
Come out of the water, little wiser down the line
Between him and me, I should've got some gone
Always whistling his little song
Thought he had us in his pocket, girl, he got that wrong
All the way to the water, she just sat and stared
Perfume that he bought her still caught in her hair
And neither of us talking 'bout what we got back there
She says the world's ending, but it's ending all the time
Noah's children
Come out of the water, little wiser down the line
Mother Mary, Mother Mary, Mother Mary, Mother Mary
Mother Mary, I ain't asked
Much from you now that time's passed
Forgive your sisters for what they'll do
'Cause you'd have done the same thing too
Same, same thing Same thing
Same, same thing
Same, same thing
Same, same thing
Easter time, and the world is new
Lilies of the valley and the daffodils bloom
And the stone rolled away and the angels singing
We're back up to the river in the pickup truck
He'll be dead for forever, and he ain't getting up
But if he ever comes back, better come back swinging
She says the world's ending, but it's ending all the time
Noah's children
Come out of the water, little wiser down the line
Mother Mary, Mother Mary, Mother Mary, Mother Mary
Mother Mary, I ain't asked
Much from you now that time's passed
Forgive your sisters for what they'll do
'Cause you'd have done the same thing too
Same, same thing
Same thing
Same, same thing
Between him and me, I should've got some gone
Always whistling his little song
Thought he had us in his pocket, girl, he got that wrong
All the way to the water, she just sat and stared
Perfume that he bought her still caught in her hair
And neither of us talking 'bout what we got back there
She says the world's ending, but it's ending all the time
Noah's children
Come out of the water, little wiser down the line
Mother Mary, Mother Mary, Mother Mary, Mother Mary
Mother Mary, I ain't asked
Much from you now that time's passed
Forgive your sisters for what they'll do
'Cause you'd have done the same thing too
Same, same thing Same thing
Same, same thing
Same, same thing
Same, same thing
Easter time, and the world is new
Lilies of the valley and the daffodils bloom
And the stone rolled away and the angels singing
We're back up to the river in the pickup truck
He'll be dead for forever, and he ain't getting up
But if he ever comes back, better come back swinging
She says the world's ending, but it's ending all the time
Noah's children
Come out of the water, little wiser down the line
Mother Mary, Mother Mary, Mother Mary, Mother Mary
Mother Mary, I ain't asked
Much from you now that time's passed
Forgive your sisters for what they'll do
'Cause you'd have done the same thing too
Same, same thing
Same thing
Same, same thing
