1
What if this storm ends?
2
And I don't see you
3
As you are now
4
Ever again
5
The perfect halo
6
Of gold hair and lightning
7
Sets you off against
8
The planet's last dance
9
Just for a minute
10
The silver forked sky
11
Lit you up like a star
12
That I will follow
13
Now it's found us
14
Like I have found you
15
I don't want to run
16
Just overwhelm me
17
What if this storm ends?
18
And leaves us nothing
19
Except a memory
20
A distant echo
21
I want pinned down
22
I want unsettled
23
Rattle cage after cage
24
Until my blood boils
25
I want to see you
26
As you are now
27
Every single day
28
That I am living
29
Painted in flames
30
All peeling thunder
31
Be the lightning in me
32
That strikes relentless
33
From here the caravans are kids toys
34
And I can hold them all in my palm
35
I watch the sea creep round the corner
36
It connects the dots from here to you
37
The sunlight burning through the loose flags
38
Painted high on white church walls
39
I chase my blood from brain to thumped heart
40
Until I'm out of breath for trying
41
[Chorus]
42
Worry not everything is sound
43
This is the safest place you've found
44
The only noise beating out is ours
45
Lacing our tea from honey jars
46
These accidents of faith and nature
47
They tend to stick in the spokes of you
48
But every now and then the trend bucks
49
And you're repaired by more than glue
50
[Chorus]
51
Why don't you rest your fragile bones
52
A minute ago you looked alone
53
Stop waving your arms you're safe and dry
54
Breathe in and drink up the winter sky
55
Slowly the day breaks apart in our hands
56
And soft hallelujahs flow in from the church
57
The one on the corner you said frightened you
58
It was too dark and too large to find your soul in
59
[Chorus]
60
Something was bound to go right sometime today
61
All these broken pieces fit together to make a perfect picture of us
62
It got cold and then dark so suddenly and rained
63
It rained so hard the two of us were the only thing
64
That we could see for miles and miles
65
And in the middle of the flood I felt my worth
66
When you held onto me like I was your little life raft
67
Please know that you were mine as well
68
Drops of water hit the ground like God's own tears
69
And spread out into shapes like
70
Salad bowls and basins and buckets for bailing out the flood
71
As motionless cars rust on driveways and curbs
72
You take off your raincoat and stretch out your arms
73
We both laugh out loud and surrender to it
74
The sheer force of sky and the cold magnet Earth
75
[Chorus]
76
And in the middle of the flood I felt my worth
77
When you held onto me like I was your little life raft
78
Please know that you were mine as well
79
Drops of water hit the ground like God's own tears
80
And spread out into shapes like
81
Salad bowls and basins and buckets for bailing out the flood
