After the Hurricane

After the hurricane, after the wind and rain

When we lost everything, after the hurricaneIt was not the driving rain

That let our love go down the drain

It was not the howlin' wind

That blew away the hopes I plannedAfter the hurricane, after the wind and rain

When we lost everything, after the hurricaneWe were sheltered from the storm

In what we thought was safe and warm

We survived the risin' tide

But there's no place that we can hideAfter the hurricane, after the wind and rain

When we lost everything, after the hurricaneThings were scattered, things got tossed

But that's not what we had lost

It's a way of marking time

To fit the reason to the rhymeAfter the hurricane, after the wind and rain

When we lost everything, after the hurricaneAfter the hurricane, after the wind and rain

When we lost everything, after the hurricane
