Hurricane Season

He was an outcast from the islands sailing 'cross the sea
Bending the horizon, bearing with the breeze
Searching for a treasure buried long ago
'Cause nothing lasts forever except what you don't know
But he weren't afraid of dying, of stepping through that door
The compass started reeling, and he stared into the storm
Soon everything was rolling and moaning like a hound
And an angry ton of water
Knocked him to the ground
And it kinda stands to reason
It was hurricance season
Hey, hey hey
He was hanging in the darkness holding to the line
Faces in the water of folks he left behind
Saying, "Boy, you must be crazy, you shoulda stayed at home,
"Stuck with what you'd started, stuck with what you'd known"
Now the sea had come to take him and snuff him like a light
In the black and heavy water
In the black and heavy sigh
And it kinda stands to reason
It was hurricance season
Hey-ey-ey
Oh
Hey-ey-ey-ey-ey-ey
Ba ba, ba ba, ba ba-da-da-da-da-da (x2)
He called out to the angels, he called into the deep
He said, "God, if you can hear me, give me some relief
"Ain't here to ask for favours, don't want to ask for gold
"Only want posession, possession of my soul"
"I'm begging for your mercy, I'm begging for you please
"I'm just a simple traveller
"Lost upon the sea"
And it kinda stands to reason
You know, it was hurricance season
Hey-ey-ey
