The river goeth into the sea...

Frank Black's "St. Francis Dam Disaster" is about the disaster of the same name, which took place in California in 1928, in which the St. Francis Dam crumbled, releasing a 140-ft high wall of water which swept over a number of towns, killing almost 500, before it reached the Pacific Ocean, 53 miles away. As Frank sings it, "That water seeks her own."
