Night of the Johnstown Flood Lyrics by Nolan Patton

Tambourine

2017

You remember what you said to me
When you walked up to me in that place
You remember me stumbling looking, finding nothing good to say
I remember all the words I tried to say
Didn't come out right
I remember how hard the rain fell that night
Was restless for a reason, to feel anything at all
You found me standing in the corner of the middle of a bar
Was filling myself with emptiness, standing small and still
You were running circles around me and you always will
Oh ho Maria, help me free my feet from this mud
Nothing will wash me clean, nothing will be enough
Oh ho Maria, help me remember who I was
I was dancing without you the night of the Johnstown flood
Was talking about nothing to no one across from me
And I kept looking out the window for some other place to be
It was a night like any other in a town of wires and mill
Was hoping to hear you laugh and I always will
Oh ho Maria
Help me remember who I was
And I was dancing without you the night of the Johnstown flood
An old song was waltzing, tar-pilling jacket and sea
Couldn’t keep me from the rain as I walked out in the street
There in the calm of the twilight, the soft wind whispering low
Shadows covered the miry path below
Well oh you found me in a limestone valley town
And I'll live forever knowing I'll never hear a sweeter sound
The voice in the ballroom at the bottom of the hill
I wish you well tonight and I always will
I wish you well tonight and I always will
Oh ho Maria
Help me free my feet from this mud
Nothing will wash me clean, nothing will be enough
I was dancing without you the night of the Johnstown flood
And I was dancing without you the night of the Johnstown flood
