After The Hurricane

After the hurricane, after the wind and rain
 When we lost everything, after the hurricane
 It was not the driving rain
 That let our love go down the drain
 It was not the howlin' wind
 That blew away the hopes I planned
 After the hurricane, after the wind and rain
 When we lost everything, after the hurricane
 We were sheltered from the storm
 In what we thought was safe and warm
 We survived the risin' tide
 But there's no place that we can hide
 After the hurricane, after the wind and rain
 When we lost everything, after the hurricane
 Things were scattered, things got tossed
 But that's not what we had lost
 It's a way of marking time
 To fit the reason to the rhyme
 After the hurricane, after the wind and rain
 When we lost everything, after the hurricane
 After the hurricane, after the wind and rain
 When we lost everything, after the hurricane
