The Storm

Intro: Before it took you away I tried to think of something I could say I watched the shadows in the hall How they danced with the light and the white on the walls Your face in these pictures looks like a poem Your eyes lit up like a river stone Your body so much like a blanket thrown On a warm bed at night, like a house in a storm Then you walk right through the doorway You tell me you're here to stay The worst is gone and by God I love If you'd been here this way I surprise myself sometimes The way the days unfold and this road unwinds You tell me you see it too And the miles seem like inches when I think of you Its been 25 day since I've been gone 25 weeks since I've seen my home I spent 25 months chasing this song and all of this time I've been alone Then you walk right through the doorway You tell me your here to stay The worst is gone and by God I love If you'd been here this way And you knew it all along I wasn't happy all along and your body all I wanted let me to just come home Then you walk right through the doorway You tell me you're here to stay The worst is gone and by God I love If you'd been here to stay And I only just learned how to stand like a man I've got 25 years of running instead How could I see the ground at my feet The truth is to me that I was caught in the storm That I wasn't alone
