The Storm

Before I took 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, Had you 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 feel like inches when I think of you It’s been 25 days that I’ve been gone And 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 And The worst is gone and back I’d holler, Had you been here this way And you knew it all along I wasn’t haṗpy all along And 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 could I see that I never … That you came to me and I was caught in the storm That I wasn’t alone
