when we lived on the river and the river did flood
there were fishes swimming by
we caught them with our hands and it was fun
when the river did flood
when the river did flood
i was a young boy swimming by
i caught a fish swimming by
when the river did flood
when the river did flood
the river did flood
now i live in a different land
i drive a taxi in this land
i like it here and i like my job
but i can't catch fish in my hand
when the river did flood…
flood, flood
flood, flood
flood, flood
flood, flood
