A Good Storm

There was a storm

There was a storm of a thousand seas

And I'll raise my glass before you notice me

I'll raise my glass before you notice me

But you're too far to save

And drowned at sea

And there was a storm

There was a storm of a thousand clouds

And the rain did fall 'till the house went down

The rain did fall 'till the house went down

And it merged the sea and the lands around

And oh what a fight

Oh what a fight of a thousand words

And most of them made up to the lies that I heard

Most of them made up to the lies that I heard

So I left you there

And there was a storm

There was a storm, the skies aglow

And I was by the sea with pockets of stone

So I rushed back to town to let everyone know

But it caught up with me and it swept me home

And I saw my house

I saw my house was broken and gone

I saw this I knew that something was wrong

So I pulled away roofing and timber and stone

But I couldn't find you anywhere

My hands were numb

And oh, when you died

Oh, when you died

It was only my fault

I wasn't there when the storm came

Wasn't there to revolt

To hold my head skywards and let the rain know

If it's taking us then, then it's taking us both
