about

My newest single, "Hurricane Weather"!

lyrics

Someone asks, “Why ain’t you cryin’?” Hell, if I know.
Thunder rumble just a mile away; air moving so slow.
Searching perfect purple skies for the storm rolling in,
Funnel clouds touching down to uproot us again.

The powerlines are down,
Darkness crawls into town,
Can’t you hear that sound?
Hurricane weather.

If you and I should wander off too far,
Trim a lantern, keep it in the window, so we know where we are.
Get caught in the down pour, and we’re both too blind to see,
Someone could go missing, and you know that someone is me.

The powerlines are down,
Darkness crawls into town,
Can’t you hear that sound?
Hurricane weather.

The trees are bended low,
Windows crack and cold wind blows,
And it’s sad that that’s all we know,
Is hurricane weather.

My land lady screams “It’s The Rapture!”-- gives her halo a shine,
Her husband schemes “No, it’s The Rupture and I’m taking what’s mine!”
Me I’m holding out for someone, who’s holding out for me,
I only hope, she don’t name this storm after me.

The powerlines are down,
Darkness choking out this town,
The only sound,
Hurricane weather.

Cars flip and trees are stripped,
Foundations groan and rip,
You can’t keep a cigarette lit,
In hurricane weather.
