The Storm

The wind

Howls so cold

Rain falls all around

Thunder precedes another raging storm

Your words,

Fade with a flash of light

As the storm rages on

I just just might be walking out on you tonight

---------------------------------

I know what I said was wrong

But I….

------------------------------------

Know you weren’t right

Not with what you said.

When I was right

I walked away

You still wanted to fight

Let’s not do this now, not this time



I’m writing pages

Of apologies I never could say

Things you never wanted to hear

But I had to say it anyway

If I could

I swear to you I would want to stay

But I can’t

Not this time

Lay with you, under this roof

-------------------------------------------------------------------

If it were up to me

I’d make everything alright

What I did wrong

What you did right

Isn’t worth the storm raging here tonight

Just walk away

Like I am going to do

I might fade into the rain

But I won’t give up on you

Not tonight

It’s something I refuse to do

No I won’t give up

I won’t give up on you

-----------------------------------------------------

The rain

Falls so fast

Lightning flashes all around

Walking through our torture

Your tears

Fall with the lights

As the lightening strikes

I still think about keeping you safe and warm tonight

---------------------------------------------------------------------

If it were up to me

I’d make everything alright

What I did wrong

What you did right

Isn’t worth the storm raging here tonight



Just walk away

Like I am going to do

I might fade into the rain

But I won’t give up on you

Tonight

It’s something I refuse to do

No I won’t give up

I won’t give up on you



INSTRUMENTAL



Please, say

What’s on your mind

I’ll let it go

If we turn out the light

I’m sorry that

This couldn’t be more kind

But the best part of the storm

Is making up after the fight

Author's Notes/Comments: 

Written for a second One of These Days album that never made it to recording...I wrote this one about an imaginary fight...but it was based on the many fights I've had to overcome in the past.
