Floodplain

<p>Some hearts are built on a floodplain<br/>Keeping one eye on the sky for rain<br/>You work for the ground that gets washed away<br/>When you live closer<br/><br/>Closer to the life and the ebb and flow<br/>Closer to the edge of I don’t know<br/>Closer to that’s the way it goes<br/>Some hearts are built on a floodplain<br/><br/>And it’s easy to sigh on a high bluff<br/>Look down and ask when you’ve had enough<br/>Will you have the sense to come on up<br/>Or will you stay closer<br/><br/>Closer to the danger and the rolling deep<br/>Closer to the run and the losing streak<br/>And what brings us to our knees<br/>Some hearts live here<br/>Oh the river it rushes to madness<br/>And the water it spreads like sadness<br/>And there’s no high ground<br/>And there’s no high ground<br/>Closer to the danger and the rolling deep<br/>Closer to the run and the losing streak<br/>And what brings us to our knees<br/><br/>Closer to the life and the ebb and flow<br/>Closer to the edge of I don’t know<br/>Closer to Lord please send a boat<br/>Some hearts are built here
