Sender unknown

Address is to you boy

What should we do

We read that letter but first calm down

[Chorus]

I didn't know what was a'coming my way

Over there the riverbanks were drying

Now that I got stuck in this flooded place

I better figure out

How to get the water back

Gloria (Get the water back)

Gloria

To the bottled letter where it all began
