Storm
Please don’t shut me out
I’m just standing at the top of the board
Of course I’m going to jump
As soon as I get what I’m waiting for
The water and the air
Doesn’t scare me in any way at all
So please don’t shut me out,
It’s hard enough just being here at all
I’m as I ever was
But I feel like inside me there’s a lump
It must be where the feeling is
That’s trying to tell me when to jump
Well, I must try to say
All things must have their day
And there is just no way to make it right again
I must turn my head,
Persuade myself instead
But only you know how I have to try
Welcome to the sound the days are making
Since I don’t belong
There isn’t any pain
Just this sense of trying to be strong
As I sit here I hear
The crashing of the cars upon the shore,
The night and this guitar
The dampness of the air, the coming storm
Well, I must try to say
All things must have their day
And there is just no way to make it right again
I must turn my head,
Persuade myself instead
But only you know how I have to try
Please don’t shut me out
I’m just standing at the top of the board
Please don’t shut me out
I’m just standing at the top of the board
Please don’t shut me out
I’m just standing at the top of the board
Please don’t shut me out
It’s hard enough just being here at all
