Heart of the Storm Lyrics

I've tried to be an honest man

I've worked my weeks and made my plans

But the years seem shorter than they were

I've watched my city change her name

Seen her baptized in the rain

Cracked her open like a pearl

If I can't be something then at least I'm not nothing

That's something you've forgotten

You've forgotten how to be

And in the heart of the storm

I will leave the backlight on

You can come in to get warm when the night blows cold

And in the morning when you leave

I'll try not to feel aggrieved

I'll just sit out beneath the trees and watch you go

And watch you go

And watch you go

I must confess for I have sinned

I sit and whisper to the wind

And wait for words that never come

And when that spirit begins to stir

Beneath the fabric and the fur

I know there's no place left to run

In the silver sunlight of a winter's day

You sold me down the river

I watched you sail away

But in the heart of the storm

I will leave the backlight on

You can come in to get warm when the night blows cold

And in the morning when you leave

I'll try not to feel aggrieved

I'll just sit out beneath the trees and watch you go

And watch you go

In the heart of the storm

I'll leave the backlight on

You can come in to get warm when the night blows cold

And in the morning when you leave

I'll try not to feel aggrieved

I'll just sit out beneath the trees and watch you go

And watch you go

And watch you go

And watch you go

And watch you go
