This Hurricane

from Crooked Songs by Rance Garrison

about

A simple love song to my high school girlfriend. It got me laid. In the words of my generation, "LOL."

She dumped me during the recording of this album."LOL."

lyrics

I missed your call, you missed your mark
I should have known right from the start
That the sun is out yet we all remain in the dark
About our fate and the ship that sails
Across the waters as the tales
Of bandits and thieves prevail
It just gets hard to find a way
To say that which I need to say
For my heart is buried deep in hardened clay
But I miss your smile, I miss your face
I miss your kiss and your embrace
I hate this feeling of being so out of place
Out of place and out of touch
And in need of a crutch
To put my weight on so I don't stumble so much
But can't you see that you need me
Like a slave needs to be free
From a master who keeps him chained like a dog to a tree?
So come along and take my hand
We'll set out for another land
We'll outrun the wind and bury our heads beneath the sun
And when the storm comes and the wind blows
Baby, we'll take off all our clothes
And stand naked in the face of the unknown
You are my strength, you are my one
You are my starlight you are my sun
You are what I've been searching for since my life begun

When I see you I know God must have a pretty face
Because he made you and we're each made in his image

So don't you worry no don't you cry
Don't you lose that spark in your eye
This hurricane will surely pass us by
No matter how fucked up things become
No matter if the rivers cease to run
No matter if the moon comes along and covers up the sun
No matter if the world stops its spin
No matter if all of time ends
No matter if the trees are uprooted by the wind
I'll be here.
