Waiting for the Storm to Pass

There you stood dressed as someone else

Like Elvis in an army uniform

Standing in the shadow of yourself

You never made it through the sliding door

Lonely days and nights they feel so long

And the good ones never seem to last

We'll just have to keep on moving on

Just waiting for the storm to pass

Technicolour faded far too fast

Like Warhol in his last photograph

The capture of your face behind the glass

Can never change that smile into a laugh

I think of the friends I've loved now gone

All the good ones never seem to last

We'll just have to keep on moving on

Just waiting for the storm to pass

Rain paints the sky

Like Rembrandt with his clouded eyes

The dark and bloodshot night

The stars still shine above the wild

Cos there's always light

Even if it's out of sight

You'll find out in time

There's no point losing your mind

It's gonna be alright

I see your ghost nurse an empty glass

Like Sinatra sitting lonely in a bar

Now I'm a father it makes me wanna ask

Why I never got to know who mine was

I promise you when you fall apart

I'll shelter and protect you to the last

All I have I give you with my heart

I'll be waiting here for the storm to pass

All I have I give you with my heart

I'll be waiting here when the storm has passed
