SITTING AND WATCHING THE STORM ROLL IN (E A D G A E)

Sitting and watching the storm roll in.

Sinking and hoping I learn to swim.

Wanting but not knowing how to begin.

 

Sitting and watching the storm roll in.

Feeling the cool of the southerly wind.

The sky sings out and the street breathes in.

 

Sitting and watching the storm roll in.

Taking our time because it’s all we have.

But knowing it’s the only thing that never stops.

 

Sitting and hoping it rains all night.

The sky is clear the stars are bright.

The moon is full and we’ll be alright.

 

Throw me a light. I think you’ve seen enough.

Hold me tight. I’m not as tough as I look.

 

Throw me a light. I am ready to leave.

Tuck me in bed. I just want to sleep.

 

Sitting and watching the storm roll in.

Sinking and hoping I learn to swim.

The sky sings out and the street breathes in.
