There's a thin white line

Cutting up the plains

As I travel back in time

And hours swallow up the days

Watch the lights come up

In the city where you are

And I close my eyes and feel the warmth of falling in your arms

Somebody cut me loose today

But I don't have a use for my wings in a hurricane

Unless I'm on my way

I met a girl back east

Who said 'don't trust the weatherman'

He never know when a sudden storm is gonna consecrate the land

She said on nights like these

I can hear the monuments

Just like us they're drinking poison singing what they can't forget

Somebody cut me loose today

But I don't have a use for my wings in a hurricane

Unless I'm on my way

I felt my heart grow wild

With every valley that I crossed

Oh I knew nothing of the desert

But the fear of being lost and you can't hear me now

But I've been calling out your name

When I wake up drenched in nightmares and find I'm alone again

Somebody cut me loose today

But I don't have a use for my wings in a hurricane

In a hurricane

Somebody cut me loose today

Oh I don't have a use for my wings in a hurricane

Unless I'm on my way

And if you're not home

On the day that I get back

I will wait up in the kitchen like you did the day I left
