Broken Down Dam

I'll never give in to the cold Riffs are just ribbons of time I'm weathered beyond my control But lately I show all the signs Concrete and steel to the core Built to withstand and retain The pressure this world has in store I'm a broken down dam in the rain Don't make the town fear over flooding Don't let 'em fear you at all Just keep your head down while the waves crash around you And don't let one single drop fall I've had about all I can take And I ain't the kind to complain But why doesn't anyone pray For a broken down dam in the rain? You may feel the warmth of the sun on my face But you can't know the weight on my back Oh, beware of the fair weather, buddy You just better be somewhere else when it cracks
