Hurricane Lyrics

Red sky evening, have you seen it

Pull the boat, we may need it

Curling colors on coast of maine

Can my shelter shed the rain?

Up the hill and in the street

All the angles point to me

Dead of night the strong water

Surrounds my little home and daughters

Oh the salt and smoke

Oh the stories we never wrote

May we recall the old approaches

When the power leaves us

When the rising seas receive us

And outmaneuver the dams and bridges

As you name your final wishes

No my child, we'll never be the same

We're headed for a hurricane

Walk with me the foundation

Dig with me a dry basin

Pass the pipe and pass the level

Send another yard of gravel

Oh when branches break

Oh when windows shake

May our angels be awake

When the power leaves us

When the rising seas receive us

Weak spot in the western border

Penetrates the ancient mortar

Oh my child we'll never be the same

We're headed for a hurricane

Oh the salt and smoke

Oh the stories we never wrote

May we recall the old approaches

When the power leaves us

When the rising seas receive us

And outmaneuver the dams and bridges

As you name your final wishes

No my child, we'll never be the same

No my child, we'll never be the same

No my child, we'll never be the same

We're headed for a hurricane
