Hurricane

In these flowers I found you the truest red that I'd ever seen

Until you cut yourself on their thorns

You winced and I kissed you, 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

And a tidal wave of fear and pain carries us away

I'll never fade into the night until nothing else remains

How do we find harbor from the hurricane?

No shelter, no shadows, the quiet song of your breath stirs the dark

Your skin like the rose at my hands

And I can't keep from wondering why nothing good could ever stay

My faith feels like a fist full of sand

It's gonna rain, it's gonna rain, till the levee breaks

And a tidal wave of fear and pain carries us away

I'll never fade into the night until nothing else remains

How do we find harbor from the hurricane?
