there was a dark cloud with a silver lining
in a small town far away
there was a fever in the water
and we drank from that well every day
she was a dark cloud with a silver lining
in high heels and wandering eyes
say i did the right thing when i lit the fire
set the black smoke into the sky
we never saw this coming
we never built a ceiling
now the gutters are all running
with the sins of our deceiving
there was a dark cloud with a silver lining
and our hearts drowned in the flood
