Before the Deluge

guitar chords lyrics

Christy Moore

Album : King PuckPlayStop

Some of them were dreamers, some of them were fools Who were making plans and thinking of the future With the energy of the innocent, they were gathering the tools That they would need to make their journey back to nature. When the sand slipped through the opening And their hands reached for the golden ring And their hearts turned to each others hearts for refuge In the troubled years that came before the deluge Some of them knew pleasure, some of them knew pain And for some of them it was only the moment that mattered On the wild and crazy wings of youth they went flying around in the rain, Until their feathers once so fine were torn and tattered In the end they traded their tired wings For the resignation that living brings They traded love's bright and fragile glow for the glitter and the rouge In a moment they were swept before the deluge So let the music keep your spirits high Let the buildings keep your children dry Let creation reveal its secrets by and by, by and by When the light that's lost within us reaches the sky Some of them were angry at the way that the earth was abused By those men who learned to forge beauty into power And in trying to protect us from them only became confused By the magnitude of the fury in the final hour When the sand was gone and the time arrived In the naked dawn only a few survived In attempts to understand this thing so simple and so huge Believed they were meant to live after the deluge So let the music keep your spirits high Let the buildings keep your children dry Let creation reveal its secrets by and by, by and by When the light that's lost within us reaches the sky
