[00:12.39]	Here comes a storm
[00:18.06]	The dust and papers dance around the room
[00:21.93]	It tells of a storm
[00:27.33]	The sky is a painted viscous swirl of troubled hues
[00:32.97]	There’s a storm
[00:36.39]	The branches rock and dance and creak and wave
[00:40.11]	We’re in for a storm
[00:45.12]	I’ve got this headache that I’ve had for days
[00:48.99]	Here comes the rain
[00:53.94]	The first few drops caress and gently dance
[00:57.54]	They light up your face
[01:02.61]	You smile in wonder looking through the eyes of a child once again
[01:10.95]	But soon the gentle drops become the deadly wolf of a gale
[01:19.08]	Our voices become lost beneath the chaos
[01:22.74]	Here comes a storm
[01:27.09]	The way the wind it starts to play and race
[01:30.39]	It whispers a storm
[01:37.44]	And here comes a storm
[01:42.66]	Just as everything was falling into place here’ s a storm
[01:52.26]	There must be a storm
[01:58.56]	Don’t we need it
[02:06.60]	Just to clear it
[02:09.99]	To blow the dust away
[02:13.95]	Away, to a place where it can never be found or thought of again
[02:36.27]	Draw me the shades
[02:41.52]	The beasts that softly whisper in your ear & keep you awake
[02:50.28]	We all have ghosts and monsters dear it’s best to give them a face
[02:58.95]	And then you simply take it, burn and throw the ashes away
[03:07.59]	The creeping doubts will disappear without trace
[03:11.55]	Here comes the dawn
[03:16.23]	I can’t believe we’ve been sitting here all night talking this long
[03:24.75]	About exactly when and where it started going so wrong
[03:33.42]	Dissecting every aspect as if it was fine all along
[03:42.27]	I told you that I’d never been all that strong
[03:46.14]	Here comes a storm
[03:51.06]	And with it come the things that we will have to face in this storm
[04:02.16]	And here comes a storm
[04:07.74]	Just as everything was falling into place here’s a storm
[04:18.03]	There must be a storm
[04:25.02]	Don’t we need it
[04:33.36]	Just to clear it
[04:36.96]	To blow the ashes away
[04:47.76]	Away, to a place where they can never be found or thought of again
[05:05.28]	This patch of blue, this ray of sun
[05:12.60]	The sense of a strange uneasy calm
[05:19.92]	Perhaps that was all, perhaps we’re done
[05:27.12]	Or maybe the worst is yet to come
[05:33.81]	And all is calm and cold as death
[05:40.47]	As all of nature holds her breath
[05:46.95]	But soon enough she’ll blow
[05:53.13]	She’ll howl
[05:59.43]	She knows
[06:03.60]	And she will howl
[06:12.18]	She’ll blow us deep into the ground
[06:24.81]	To the ground
[06:27.93]	Where we can only pray that we’ll never be found

[00:12.39]	Here comes a storm
[00:18.06]	The dust and papers dance around the room
[00:21.93]	It tells of a storm
[00:27.33]	The sky is a painted viscous swirl of troubled hues
