Hurricane Season

He was an outcast from the island, sailing across the sea
Bending the horizon, bearing with the breeze
Searching for a treasure buried long ago
'Cause nothing lasts forever except what you don't know

But he weren't afraid of dying or stepping through that door
The compass started reeling and he stared into the storm
Soon everything was rolling and moaning like a hound
And an angry ton of water knocked him to the ground

And it kinda stands to reason
It was hurricane season
Hey

He was hanging in the darkness, holding to the land
Faces in the water of folks he'd left behind
Saying, "Boy, you must be crazy, you should have stayed at home
Stuck with what you'd started, stuck with what you know"

And the sea had come to take him and snuff him like a light
In the black and heavy water in the black and heavy sight

And it kinda stands to reason
It was hurricane season
Hey, hey, hey

Hey, hey, hey, hey

He called up to the angels, he called into the deep
Said, "God if you can hear me, give me some relief"
And He didn't ask for favours, didn't want to ask for gold
Only one possession, possession of my soul

"I'm begging for your mercy, I'm begging for you please
I'm just a simple traveller lost upon the sea"

And it kinda stands to reason
It was hurricane season
Hey, hey, hey
