The Storm

Lay on down and l hit the lights Close my eyes on a quiet night I feel a dream and l'm sleeping, too Hearin' little drops on my windowsill I know that sound, the smell of dotting rain She moves my weather vane She is the storm and the calm that proceeds The howling wind and the still air in-between And l see the clouds rollin' in With a force to knock me down And pick me up again She calls in quick no warnin' signs The lightning strikes from wild skies The things l hope are waterproof Are tested as she rains through my roof All l can do is wait for it to pass Hold on and hope to last She is the storm and the calm that proceeds The howling wind and the still air in-between And l see the clouds rollin' in With force to knock me down And pick me up again Now the streets are flooding and the powers out No use runnin', I'm in it now I pull my hatch and l batten down I face the storm and l hold my ground She is the storm and the calm that proceeds The howling wind and the still air in-between And l see the clouds rollin' in With a force to knock me down And pick me up again And when she leaves L want her back again Her storm, l took comfort in Mmm, l took comfort in, mmm
