"The Storm" lyrics

Oh, the summer's gettin' wilder
I see, the grass is growin' higher
I won't, I won't, I won't get up and leave
My father died in this house, that's all he left to me
The storm, it hangs on the horizon
And oh, I see my troubles risin'
The water is risin' and baptizin' all of this town
So stay with me, baby, bring whiskey, it's time to get down

The water is risin'
Swallowing all that I see
Just hold me darling
The storm is coming for me

You, you worked your whole life away
Now, there's nothing more you need to say
I remember my lover, so tall and so perfect, yeah
When I was around this ole house I realized nobody's there
The storm is crushing down the valley
Oh, this love is what will save me
The water is risin', I missed my one chance to get out
So stay with me darlin, for one more good twist and shout

The water is risin'
Swallowing all that I see
Just hold me darling
The storm is coming for me

The water is risin'
Swallowing all that I see
Just hold me darling
The storm is coming for me

The water is risin'
Swallowing all that I see
Just hold me darling
The storm is coming for me
