[Verse 1]
Oh, the summer's gettin' wilder
I see, the grass is growin' higher
I won't, I won't, I won't get up and leave
My father died in this house, that's all he left to me
The storm, it hangs on the horizon
And oh, I see my troubles risin'
The water is risin' and baptizin' all of this town
So stay with me, baby, bring whiskey, it's time to get down

[Chorus]
The water is risin'
Swallowing all that I see
Just hold me darling
The storm is coming for me

[Verse 2]
You, you worked your whole life away
Now, there's nothing more you need to say
I remember my lover, so tall and so perfect, yeah
When I was around this ole house I realized nobody's there
The storm is crushing down the valley
Oh, this love is what will save me
The water is risin', I missed my one chance to get out
So stay with me darlin, for one more good twist and shout
[Chorus]
The water is risin'
Swallowing all that I see
Just hold me darling
The storm is coming for me

[Instrumental Interlude]

[Chorus]
The water is risin'
Swallowing all that I see
Just hold me darling
The storm is coming for me

[Chorus]
The water is risin'
Swallowing all that I see
Just hold me darling
The storm is coming for me
