lyrics

I'm in the water, swimming through houses
noises ahead and above
Everywhere trees and people are screaming
a disastrous flood suddenly

And we're always fighting
fighting against water
Always fighting
the threat of flooding ahead

So we built dikes, but we're still under water
still under water here
The delta works, are they enough?
Enough for what comes next?

And we're always fighting
fighting against water
Always fighting
the threat of flooding ahead

We have to be prepared
We don't know what the future brings
The greenhouse effect,
global warming, acid rain

We think we will know
but it's not always sure
Look what happened this year___

And we're always fighting
fighting against water
Always fighting
the threat of flooding ahead

'T was 1953, now 2020
When do we have to move?

Yvet van der Tuin Berkel En Rodenrijs, Netherlands

I grew up in a musical family between folk and cabaret and I was inspired by artists such as Tori Amos and Agnes Obel. I write both English and Dutch songs, sometimes quite literal, sometimes hard to understand, sometimes wordless, but always poetic!
