Broussard’s Lament Lyrics by Sarah Jarosz

Song Up in Her Head

2009

[Verse 1]
Storm it did rage on
The coastal shore
Winds blew so strong
Then the floods came on
People cried what took so long
For our help - to come along
[Chorus 1]
Answers came cheap at the break of dawn
Sound bites playin' on and on and on
They told us Thursday they would come
They told us Friday they would come
Saturday came and still the dying lived on
[Instrumental Break]
[Verse 2]
The missing ones were lost
Not to be found
They paid the cost
You let them down
Well we said what can we do
Just to make - it up to you
[Chorus 2]
Oh you can try to make this up to me
But all I had's is lost, I'm lost you see
They told me Thursday they would come
They told me Friday they would come
Saturday's here and I'm trying find my home
Oh the time is here, trying to find my home
