We sat and watched the desert
The air was waving warm
She wanted new adventures
I want to brave the storm
We were looking for a way then
We'd have to struggle some
I asked if she'd want sunshine
And she said, "Babylon floods.
Babylon floods."

We stood and walked the desert
We walked til it was gone
We walked til it was glistening
At every frozen dawn
We were looking at the weather
Adventure in our blood
But it was time to settle down
And she said, "Babylon floods.
Babylon floods."

We never found the sunshine
We never found the snow
We left the vibrant cardinal
We only found the crow
Replacing destinations
I found myself in love
I asked if we were home yet
And she said, "Babylon floods.
Babylon floods."
