lyrics

After The Storm

We just turned the corner , like the turn of a page
The river was rising and my flag was blue
I tore up the letter I was writing to you
My conscience is pricking me like a thorn
Things settle down after the storm

I didn’t get no warning , and nobody said
My senses were dulled, seemed I was living in my head
I put summer behind me like a dream when you wake
No point in retracing some foolish mistake
My breath is shorter now and my feet are worn
Things settle down after the storm

I’m not discouraged, not sad or blue
I wish I were back in the woods walking with you
Nature is dying the trees fall down
The harvest is in and the fields turn brown
Nothing changes - nothing does since you’re born
Things seem the same after the storm

Heaven has no answers, and I dare not ask
Why love comes calling, why I couldn’t stick to the task
The stars may be brighter once you are miles from town
The road could be rocky from this point on
I see my destination I can’t make out its form
My plate is empty after the storm
Things settle down after the storm
Things settle down after the storm
