Return of the Storm

I will stop the rain for you
And the wind will see you through
Your alibis
May your will survive
I know that the world is drowning
I hear the earth resounding
I will never let you go
I will never let you leave
Returning to the place I know
Life is never what it seems to be

When the waves come rolling in
And crash into the bay
The perfect storm of life within
A tepid modern day
And in the midst of nature's wrath
The seas whisper a plan
The echo holds onto its grasp
And draws it in the sand

In the twilight abyss foreboding
Moonlight glistens
The breakers glowing
If you cry out wanting
Waiting for me
Then I will return
If my spirit brings you comfort
If it's that for which you yearn
I will promise you
That I'll stand by you
And watch you every day
Return from where you came
I'll give you refuge through the pain

Feel the storm prevailing on
The land down by the shore
Sky bringing down its furor on
The mountains and the moor
Lightning flashes into the night
Revealing memories
A life bereft of haunting song
Seduction of the sea
When the thunderous
Gale is blowing
Anchor tight to the
Strength in knowing

When the current cackles
Lurid thoughts
And sunset turns to grey
When the tide is growing taller
And the night eclipses day
Every moment that seems painful
And destroys you to the core
Let your spirit soar
As the waves break on the shore

Into the water's deepest cave
Into the warm inviting grave
Into the still and silent current
I will brave
I will find my way

If you cry out wanting
Waiting for me
Then I will return
In life's voyage there to guide you
If it's that from which you learn
I will promise you
That I'll stand by you
And help you find your way
Hold a lantern in the rain
And return from where you came
