The Good Works Of Cyrus

I heard the words of Cyrus

Stopped at the light one day

He blessed me for the offering

Then he looked at me and said:

"There is a flood that's comin'

So make your plans for runnin'

Far away"

"There is a flood that's comin'

So make your plans for runnin'

Far away"

I paid him almost nothing

And nothing I have laid

I cursed the pearls of Cyrus

I threw them all away

Though high above it's sunny

There ain't no use in runnin'

Not today
