lyrics

Tide was low and the waves were thin
Marie and I had fought again
Our words became a battlefield
Right or wrong I would not yield

The rain came down as our tumult grew
'Til I boarded ship and left her blue
Pulled the lines and sailed away
Storm surge rose with a lightning quake

Oh, let the warm winds blow
Everglades City to the Texas Coast
Hurricane whippin' up whitecap foam
I lost my baby in the undertow

Thought my boat could ride the wake
But without my love I was bound to break
I'd face the darkness down below
My fate was sealed as the thunder rolled

Oh, let the warm winds blow
Everglades City to the Texas Coast
Hurricane whippin' up whitecap foam
I lost my baby in the undertow

My bones were drenched as it took me down
Flotsam sank to the sandy ground
A flash of light through clouds of red
As I caught a glimpse of what was left

A clarity from the murky chill
My hardened heart now soft and frail
Too late to undo what I'd done
My pride cost my life and my love

(Ah-ah-ah)
(Oh-oh-oh-oh)
(Ah-oh-oh-oh-oh)

Oh, let the warm winds blow
Everglades City to the Texas Coast
Hurricane whippin' up whitecap foam
I'm lost and drowning (In the undertow)
Forgive me baby
I'm lost and drowning in the undertow
