Lyrics
ORANGE CREEK
Orange Creek ran dry, walkin down the railroad ties
Orange Creek ran deep, but that’s a song for yesterday
Orange Creek ran dry, walkin through its afterlife
Orange Creek can’t speak, ran dry
Then I hear the thunder, clouds are growin darker, the wind blows high.
And the air grows colder, and the smell of rain comes like a tide.
To a soul that is dry. Then like tears from my eyes…
The rain begins to fall.
Orange Creek runs high, singin in the warm sunshine.
Orange Creek it speaks, come and wash yourself away
Orange Creek baptize, strip away my pain lies
Orange Creek now deep, runs high
Water rushin over, weight rolls from my shoulders, I close my eyes.
Darkness takes me under, wanted to stay longer, but when I rise
It has brought new life to a soul that was dry
And now the old is washed away
Orange Creek at night, callin from the afterlife
Orange Creek it’s time, goodbye
