Cheryl Wheeler - The Storm lyrics

Trouble on the rise from the middle of a stormy sea Muffled in the skies on the edges of the whole country Blowing home heavy hearts again In a moan, frozen on the wind I never knew a sky so gray On an icy day As the wind blows down On a sea coast town Harboring the beast that the power of the wind controls Howling in the streets with the voices of the ancient souls Old and frail primeval mysteries Come to wail of unknown histories I never heard a stronger cry From a mournful sky Over frozen land In the winter's hand Out along the shore in a hurricane of ice and foam Swaying in the roar I was standing on the dock alone In the night Where the forces came to play And maybe I Should have known to turn away But I never felt so drawn and bound To the great unknown 'Til it turned me around And it sent me home
