Storm

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

Ah

Ah

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

Ah
