Hurricane

Those flowers I found you
 Were the truest red that I'd ever seen
 Till you cut yourself on their thorns
 You winced and I kissed you,
 And I kissed your palms and we both laughed
 So unaware of the gathering storm
 It's gonna rain, it's gonna rain, till the levee breaks
 A tidal wave of fear and pain carries us away
 Another fight into the night until nothing else remains
 How do we find harbor from the hurricane?
 Now sheltered in shadows,
 The quiet song of your breath stirs the dark
 Your skin like a rose 'neath my hand
 And I can't keep from wondering
 Why nothing good could ever stay
 Why faith feels like a fistful of sand
 It's gonna rain, it's gonna rain, till the levee breaks
 A tidal wave of fear and pain carries us away
 Another fight into the night until nothing else remains
 How do we find harbor from the hurricane?
 It's gonna rain, it's gonna rain, till the levee breaks
 A tidal wave of fear and pain carries us away
 Another fight into the night until nothing else remains
 How do we find harbor from the hurricane?
