It's a tombstone town

That we're living in

Can you believe

How dry it's been

We need relief

But we ain't got it yet

It's been too long

Since we got wet

There was a heavy rain

A good while back

Out on the edge of town

Let's go find the water

Soon as the sun goes down



CHORUS:

Let's open up

The floodgates of love

Kick up our feet

And roll in the stuff

Let's soak it in

Get more than enough

Let's open up

The floodgates of love



We used to swim

Most everyday

It took a lot

To wash the dirt away

How we forgot

The water was there

I just don't know

And don't really care

See it down matter

How dry we are

Long as we comprehend

The water's waiting

Let's jump on in



(REPEAT CHORUS)



There ain't no kind of desert

We can't cross

Long as we don't stray far

From the floodgates of

From the floodgates of love



(REPEAT CHORUS THREE TIMES
