A Good Storm

[Verse 1]
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 save
And drowned at sea

[Verse 2]
And there was a storm
There was a storm of a thousand clouds
And the rain did fall 'till the house went down
The rain did fall 'till the house went down
And it merged the sea and the lands around

[Verse 3]
And oh, what a fight (Oh, what a fight)
Oh, what a fight of 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)

[Verse 4]
And there was a storm
There was a storm, of skies aglow
And I was by the sea with pockets of stone
So I rushed back to town to let everyone know
But it caught up with me and it swept me home

[Verse 5]
And I saw my house
I saw my house was broken and gone
I saw this, I 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

[Verse 6]
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 hands skywards and let the rain know
If it's taking us then, then it's taking us both
