Life In the Storm

Edwin McCain

Compositor: Edwin McCain

The rip of thunder it splits the day
It's jagged proof for the strength of chaos
There's a strange music in the rumble
It's like the anger and love's loss

So you ask me to seek shelter
And with you I know it's safe and warm
But my dreams are in the torrent
And my life is in the storm

The message burned upon my skin
It weighs heavy on the sublime
I wouldn't change my way even if I could
So I run as fast and dream as hard
And sometimes just pay it no mind
And drink as much from this bittersweet well
Before I run dry on time

So you ask me to seek shelter
And with you I know it's safe and warm
But my dreams are in the torrent
And my life is in the storm

So don't tell be your heart's desires
Unless I begin my apologies now
`Cause I don't understand that I would love again
And I'm damn sure that I wouldn't know how

So you ask me to seek shelter
And with you I know it's safe and warm
But my dreams are in the torrent
And my life is in the storm

So you ask me to seek shelter
And with you I know it's safe and warm
But my dreams are in the torrent
And my life is in the storm
