Perfect Storm Lyrics

A circumstance of chance
New steps in every dance
In place of a romance
A sidelong secret glance
Has come around again
Sands of time fall grain by grain
Slowly filling the hourglass with pain
A sweet refrain
Played to tears like rainHer thunder shakes me to my core
Her lightening pierces, storms roar
Her oceans pound against my soul
The hope to hold
Drifts away with a kiss she stole
On waters black as ink
Still her love's the wreckage
That won't let me sinkWould I choose to stay
Beneath skies of iron gray
Forget about the sun, go another way

Give up sight, forget sound
Know no up, know no down
To be tossed in her tides
Till all that's left inside
Is pride that has diedShe can see the key
Calms the fury of her seas
Im still here,
Year after year
And I wont try to reach the shore
Her rocks and shoals cant hurt me anymore
