Storms Make Grey The Sea Lyrics

You sit up there
Did you know what you were in for?
The change in the air
When you walked through the door

You were blue, but now you're green
For now you belong to me
In the way storms make grey the sea
You belong to me

Maybe you feel a bit brighter by now
Maybe you hear the violet in your crown
Maybe you see your troubles wash out
Shadowing your colors with sound
And let them wash away

You sit up there
Did you know what you were in for?
The change in the air
When I stepped to the floor

You were blue, but now you're green
For now you belong to me
In the way the storms make grey the sea
You belong to me

Keep it true to the song

Fix what’s wrong, but don’t rewrite what the artist wrote. Stick to the official released version — album booklet, label site, verified lyric video, etc. If you’re guessing, pause and double-check.

Respect the structure

Songs have rhythm. Pages do too. Leave line breaks where they belong. Don’t smash things together or add extra empty space just for looks.

Punctuation counts (but vibe-editing doesn’t)

Correct typos? Yes. Re-punctuating a whole verse because it ‘looks better’? Probably not. Keep capitalization and punctuation close to the official source.

Don’t mix versions

If you’re editing the explicit version, keep it explicit. If it’s the clean version, keep it clean. No mashups.

Let the lyrics be lyrics

This isn’t the place for interpretations, memories, stories, or trivia — that’s what comments are for. Keep metadata, translations, and bracketed stage directions out unless they’re officially part of the song.

Edit lightly

If two lines are wrong… fix the two lines. No need to bulldoze the whole page. Think ‘surgical,’ not ‘remix.’

When in doubt, ask the crowd

Not sure what they’re singing in that fuzzy bridge? Drop a question in the comments and let the music nerds swarm. Someone always knows.
