The Storm

Before I took you in, I tried to think of something I could say
 I watched the shadows in the hall
 Had to dance with the light and the white on the wall
 Your face in these pictures looks like a poem
 Your eyes lit up like a river storm
 Your body so much like a blanket thrown on a warm bed at night
 Like a house in the storm
 ♪
 Then you walked right through the doorway
 You tell me you're here to stay
 The worst is gone and back I'd holler
 You been here this way
 And I surprise myself sometimes
 The way the days unfold and this road unwinds
 You tell me you see it too
 And the miles feel like inches when I think of you
 It's been 25 days that I've been gone
 25 weeks since I've seen my home
 I spend 25 months chasing this song
 All of this time I've been alone
 ♪
 You walked right through the doorway
 You tell me you're here to stay
 The worst is gone and back I'd holler
 You been here this way
 And you knew it all along
 I wasn't happy all along
 Nobody at home had wanted me to just come home
 ♪
 Then you walked right through the doorway
 You tell me you're here to stay
 The worst is gone and back I'd holler
 Had you been here this way
 And I won't just run, I'll stand like a man
 I got 25 years of running instead
 How can I see that I never feel me?
 But you came to me and I was caught in the storm
 That I wasn't alone
