Tide
was high in
Jamaica
Bay
Ocean pushed into
Rockaway
Looking back, the sky was black
We were right in
Sandy's track
Couldn't leave,
we knew we had to stay
Bored out the windows,
hunkered down to pray
Flames came late into the night
Breezy point was swept in violent light
Fighting fire in the rain,
taken by a hurricane
Mother
Nature don't take her name in vain
Boil up the windows,
hunker down to pray
Now here's to you and me and
Mary
Magdalene
God save the children and
the women and the men
Let's drink to you and me and
Mary
Magdalene
I never want to hear
that devil wind again
The sea came through the kitchen floor
Rising halfway up the door
Sirens blared, kids were scared
You don't know the fear we shared
Hold on to me, don't let me go
Begging for mercy,
I didn't think you cared
Now here's to you and me and
Mary
Magdalene
God save the children and
the women and the men
Let's drink to you and me and
Mary
Magdalene
I never want to hear that devil wind
again
Now here's to you and me and
Mary
Magdalene
God save the children and
the women and the men
Let's drink to you and me and
Mary
Mag dalene
I never want to hear that devil win again
Woah, woah, woah, woah, woah
You
