Hurricane

Was a long forgotten winter when I met young Anna Lee
By spring we were in love and I asked if she'd marry me
And I didn't know the price I'd pay when she happily agreed
I didn't know the storm ahead that'd bring me to my knees

She syphoned gas from my car, just to get her to the bar
Where she'd always drink for free
She'd come home like a wreck, and she'd stumble out her dress
And said she never cared for me

She was a hurricane that I tried to survive
She was a wilting flower that I tried to keep alive

I only knew I loved her so much, I knew I couldn't leave
And despite all of our problems I knew she still cared for me
And I didn't listen to anyone who advised me not to stay
I let her love just blind my eyes as the sky was turning grey

She could never keep a job, but never hesitated to rob me
Every dollar and every dime
Oh and one night in July, she punched me in the eye
And begged forgiveness as she cried

She was a hurricane, and I knew I couldn't stay
One night destruction came, and I had to run away

Well five years passed and my heart of glass was mended by some glue
She moved up north to get a job and found a lover to pursue
Though the storm I know has faded, leaving just a gentle breeze
I might have been destroyed by it was all worth it to me

She was a hurricane, when I had to set her free
Now she's a glowing rose, and I'm happy as can be
She was just a hurricane to me
Only a hurricane to me

Just a hurricane
