"If The Storms Never Came" lyrics
A fading light can break you, boys
When on an endless sea
Deep in the night when needed most
On shore you cannot be
Beneath the size of the widening skies
Pray idleness would break
But just the scent, a gentle wind
To lead the coming rain
'Cause how could you stand it
How could you stand it
How could you stand it if the storms never came?
Well let's go far to the countryside
And live among the green
Beside the fire, a sweeter life
And all the while we'll sing
And plant in rows the fruit you want
Train hands to push the clay
And pull in close, you feed the ones
You don't want far away
'Cause how could you stand it
How could you stand it
How could you stand it if the storms never came?
When on an endless sea
Deep in the night when needed most
On shore you cannot be
Beneath the size of the widening skies
Pray idleness would break
But just the scent, a gentle wind
To lead the coming rain
'Cause how could you stand it
How could you stand it
How could you stand it if the storms never came?
Well let's go far to the countryside
And live among the green
Beside the fire, a sweeter life
And all the while we'll sing
And plant in rows the fruit you want
Train hands to push the clay
And pull in close, you feed the ones
You don't want far away
'Cause how could you stand it
How could you stand it
How could you stand it if the storms never came?
