Storms - Nanci Griffith

As quiet as a street lamp

This is some kinda town

Whiskey go easy

When the sun goes down

My best to the midnight.

.

God, look at the moon

There’s enough for two shadows

There’s only one in the room

There’s only one in the room

There’s a storm out on the water

Oh, bless the ships at sea

There’s a storm down in my lover’s heart

Oh, God bless me

I wanna be blown by the wind of his

Breathing

Shown by lightening flashing

Oh, I’ve never been afraid of the thunder

I wonder

Will he rain on me?

Is loneliness contagious?

Another damn song about a waitress

It’s the only hotel here

.. .

and the engine’s gotta cool

I’m a bad hand at solitaire

You lie to yourself and no one cares

While the wall paper fades.

.

The sun takes the moon

There should be two to a room

There’s a storm out on the water

Oh, bless the ships at sea

There’s a storm down in my lover’s heart

Oh, God bless me
