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
