Backwater

Cold wind blows over the sea
Like a messenger of the storm
The sky is iron-clad with clouds
The swallows fly low and scream

Over the sea a storm is breaking
Can´t get away, the earth is shaking
Backwater

It´s a game of heaven and earth
A tomblin´ ball on the hand of faith
Left to mercy of the waves
All is lost, you can´t get it back
