Hurricane

Babe, you always were a hurricane

The way that first you'd rage and then you'd rain

And all the calm there in your eye

Just felt like a lie, it always changed

You could see it coming on for miles

Ripping up the trees and fencepost stiles

The wind turns warm, the sky goes green

That's the wildest world I've ever seen

So blow me down, blow me down

And leave me lying in your wake

Lay me low, lay me low in your old way

Let it rain, let it fall, shake the pictures off the wall

And roar away, roar away, hurricane

I've always kept the company of clouds

I like my lightning bright, my thunder loud

I was never one for bluer skies

All that bright sun droning in my eyes

So blow me down, blow me down

And leave me lying in your wake

Lay me low, lay me low one more time

Let it rain, let it pour, spin me round a little more

And roar away, roar away, hurricane

The sensible people run

But I'm holding out my tongue

For just a taste of rain, electricity

I want to feel that change washing over me

So blow me down, blow me down

And leave me lying in your wake

Lay me low, lay me low just one more time

Let it rain, let it pour, blow the hinges off the door

And roar away, roar away, hurricane
