Bomb blasted windows, 1917
2000 people were lost
The unladen Imo, for wartime relief
Danced into Mont Blanc in the Cove
How could a woman as light as a bird
Blow winds cross the prairie so cold
A Halifax hurricane bore down on North End
Had nothing on that woman's soul
We ducked in that bar, out of the storm
And away from the forces that blew
I didn't know how lightning that struck
Was all of that fury from you
My cold hearted woman named after a storm
Gets what she came here to take
The bombs in the harbor couldn't sleep through the fire
Left nothing but ruin in its wake
We ducked in that bar, out of the storm
And away from the forces that blew
I didn't know how lightning that struck
Was all of that fury from you
When fisherman find my body and clothes
Lay me to rest in St. Paul
That's nowhere she'll find me or look for my bones
She blew off the coast at landfall
We ducked in that bar, out of the storm
And away from the forces that blew
I didn't know how lightning that struck
Was all of that fury from you
How could a woman as light as a bird
Blow winds cross the prairie so cold
A Halifax hurricane bore down on North End
Had nothing on that woman's soul
