What if this storm ends
and I don't see you
as you are now
ever again
a perfect halo
of gold hair and lightning
sets you up against
the planet's last dance
just for a minute
the silver forked sky
lit you up like a star
that I will follow
but now it's found us
like I have found you
I don't wanna run
just overwhelm me
If this storm ends
and leaves us nothing
except a memory
a distant echo
I want pinned down
I want unsettle
rattle cage after cage
until my blood boils
I wanna see you
as you are now
every single day
that I am living
paint it in flames
all peeling thunder
be a lightning in me
that strikes relentless
What if this storm ends
and I don't see you
as you are now
ever again
the perfect halo
of gold hair and lightning
sets you up against
the planet's last dance
just for a minute
the silver forked sky
lit you up like a star
that I will follow
and now its found us
like I have found you
I don't wanna run
just overwhelm me
Part II
From here the caravans are kid's toys
and I can hold them all in my palm
I watch the sea creep 'round the corner
connects the dots from here to you
the sunlight burning through the loose flags
painted high on white church walls
I chase my blood from brain to thumped heart
until I'm out of breath for trying
worry not every thing is sound
this is the safest place you found
the only noise beating out is ours
lacing our tea from honey jars
These accidents of faith and nature
they tend to stick in the spokes of you
but every now and then the trend bucks
and you're repaired by more than glue
worry not every thing is sound
this is the safest place you found
the only noise beating out is ours
lacing our tea from honey jars
why don't you rest your fragile bones
a minute ago you looked alone
stop wavin' your arms your safe and dry
breathe in and drink up the winter sky
Part III
slowly the day breaks apart in our hands
and soft hallelujahs flow in from the church
the one on the corner you siad frightened you
it was too dark and too large to find your soul in
somethin' was bound to go right sometime today
all these broken pieces fit together to make a perfect picture us
it got cold then dark so suddenly it rained
it rained so hard the two of us were the only thing
that we could
see for miles and miles
and in the middle of the flood I felt my worth
when you held onto me like I was your little life raft
please know
that you where mine as well
drops of water hit the ground like god's own tears
and spread out into shapes like salad bowls and basins
and buckets
for bailin' out the flood
As motionless cars rust on drive ways and curves
you take off your raincoat and stretch out your arms
we both laugh out loud and surrender to it
the sheer force of sky and the cold magnet earth
somethin' was bound to go right sometime today
all these broken pieces fit together to make a perfect picture us
it got cold then dark so suddenly it rained
it rained so hard the two of us were the only thing
that we could
see for miles and miles
and in the middle of the flood I felt my worth
when you held onto me like I was your little life raft
please know
that you where mine as well
drops of water hit the ground like god's own tears
and spread out into shapes like salad bowls and basins
and buckets
for bailin' out the flood

AWESOME SONG!!! I found and listened to it. I love the lyrics and the way it builds. I would buy it if I had money left on Itunes. Oh well. I'll put up something soon.
Okay so, I removed my first post because I found this awesome video of the song at (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3oGc8fXIK5s). Its awesome not only because it has the song in and the monotage it well suited but also because the videos are from "Doctor Who" a british comedy/sci-fi/action show I watch and love.
