Flash Flood

© 2015 Vicky Harris / Paul Carne

I see a beacon right up ahead
Feels like a milestone year
And I'm not worried, no I don't feel afraid
’Cause I’m happy to be here

Like a flash flood that races through
A life goes by so fast
With every breath and step I take
I’m gonna make each moment last

My only son moves round like tumbleweed
He never settles for too long
And all the miles that come between
Could never break our bond

Just like a flash flood that races through
A child becomes a man
From the sidelines I cheer him on
I see him when I can

I thought that love had come and gone
And happy endings were untrue
I didn't realize that every goodbye
Would bring me closer to you

Just like a flash flood that races through
You knocked me off my feet
Late in the game you reminded me
That love could be so sweet
