Storm

I, I want to be one of those storms falling over the sea

I want to rely, stars fiercer than Mars smile back at me

Even as I speak, I hear the wind over those peaks

And picture the timbers as they creak out in the storm

Oh when the clouds swirl and all the world is waking with the wind

And when the waves hurl themselves against the shore to win

Oh how the heart leaps with the lightning and the drum

Oh how the soul aches when the wind through green fields runs

Half of me answers the storm in its wild sing-song

The other says here by the fire is where I belong

Eyes wide may see so, much that they know where the winds flow

Yet they know that they are a leaf blown, and fall where they're sown

Oh when the clouds swirl and all the world is waken with the wind

And when the waves hurl themselves against the shore to win

Oh how the heart leaps with the lightning and the drum

Oh how the soul aches when the wind through green fields runs
