Carried Away

We lived across the lake from each other
You with your husband, me with my wife
Lots of time hanging out together
Maybe too many wine filled nights
Out of the blue a match was struck
A glance turned to a stare
Everything came crashing down
I wanted you, and I didn’t care

Floodgates burst open
Carried away
A raging torrent
Carried Away
Floodgates, they burst wide open
No higher ground
Cascading flood waters
Pulling us down
Carried away, Carried Away

Nighttime I stare into the darkness
No lights shine across the lake
We’ve been scattered by the four winds
Each alone, in a different space
I succumbed to your beauty
Things can’t be undone
Flesh met the devil face to face
The devil won
