Through hell and high water we have said we’d swim Of all we’ve thought, for all we’ve seen, we’re in Through hell and high water Over, under, we would take the bridge
That salty wonder takes us bit by bit And we’re its plunder, like the Cape’s thin wrist And left to ponder: fold or flex a fist? Through hell and high water
When storms bring waves and When waves bring tides in Are we bold enough to think we’d win? When storms bring winds and When winds bring the hurricane There’s nowhere she wants she’s never been
Our levee’s so much stronger now from testing them But are they strong for what we will begin? Peninsula is fading Oh, bright city’s gauging While the old man’s hardwood floors remove again
When storms bring waves and When waves bring tides in Are we bold enough to think we’d win? When storms bring winds and When winds bring the hurricane There’s nowhere she wants she’s never been So open up your door and let her in
Bridges falling down, be patient In this tidal town, keep waiting
When storms bring waves and When waves bring tides in Are we bold enough to think we’d win? When storms bring winds and When winds bring the hurricane There’s nowhere she wants she’s never been The wise men open up and let her in And sea ain’t waging war It’s just another storm Then she will leave and you’ll be standing
