lyrics

To Rebekah, Before the Flood
by Jahn Sood


I loved you when I set sail, Rebekah.
I loved you through wind and hail, Rebekah.
And now I’ve come back home.
Now I’ve come back home.
And I can’t find the words to tell you
I can’t find the words.
You’re in my breath and in your death
You’ll ring above these chords.

When the heavens start to pour, Rebekah.
And the trees fall off the shore, Rebekah.
Please climb up on the hill.
Don’t stay to watch the spill.
I wish I’d come before you let go.
I wish I’d come before.
You’re in my blood and in this flood,
Our love can be restored.

Even if it’s for the
End of our lives
I made it just in time to watch your
Face disappear beneath the waves
I’ll appear to be so brave
But I fear I cannot save you.

When the windows finally break, Rebekah.
And the walls all start to shake, Rebekah.
You’ll know this song is done.
There’s no place we can run.
Everything we built together
Everything we built.
Or our teddy bears, our kitchen chairs
Our cottage on the hill
Will be gone forever,
Rebekah, goodbye.
