A Good Storm

There was a flood
There was a flood of a thousand seas
And I'll raise my glass before you notice me
I'll raise my glass before you notice me
But you're too far to say, "I'm drowned at sea"
And there was a storm
There was a storm of a thousand clouds
And the rain did fall 'til the house went down
The rain did fall 'til the house went down
And it merged the sea and the lands around
And oh, what a fight (oh what a fight)
Oh what a fight, a thousand words
And most of them made up to the lies that I heard
Most of them made up to the lies that I heard
So I left you there (he left me there)
And there was a storm
There was a storm of skies aglow
And I was by the sea with pockets of stones
So I rushed back to town to let everyone know
But it caught up with me and it swept me home
And I saw my house
I saw my house, was broken and gone
I saw this and knew that something was wrong
So I pulled away roofing and timber and stone
But I couldn't find you anywhere, my hands were numb
And oh, when you died
Oh, when you died, it was only my fault
I wasn't there when the storm came
Wasn't there to revolt
To hold my hand skywards and let the rain know
If it's taking us then, then it's taking us both
