Lyrics:
Before my eyes the creek ran dry
A fountain of water rose up in the sky
There'll be no more floating, no one knows why
But I was there when the creek ran dry
Thunder rained down from the sky
Nary a tear for my dry eye
Lightning flashed to show us why
We were there when the creek ran dry
We stood on the dock with toy boats in our hands;
Watching the water uncover the land
Thinkin' of drinkin' a glass of sand
No one remembers, cause no one knows why
But we were there when the creek ran dry
A grackle sang out to the sky
remembering, thirsty, I finally cried
remembering days when nobody died
And a thousand horns sang up to the sky
With thunder and lightning and tears in my eyes
I fell to the creek bed, I finally died
A pillar of dust rose up in the sky
I was there when the creek went dry
Building snatched a plane out the sky;
Number 7 came down; no one knows why
We stood on the dock with toy boats in our hands;
Watching the water uncover the land
Thinking of drinkin' a glass of sand
No one remembers, cause no one asked why
We were there when the creek ran dry
