Storms Songtext
von The Ballroom Thieves

I said, I am no evil man, and then I paused
As if convinced of what that meant
I braced myself and faced my doubts
Not surprised but unprepared for such an arduous descent
And if I ever knew I loved you, it was then
I said, don′t you hide your eyes from me
I will wreck your guesswork worries one by one
And when they're buried in some deep, dark sea
You′ll be mine, and so my mind it spun and spun
But it was over by the time it had begun


You said, I will not chase these storms
While our tongues gave all our wickedness away
I said, ours will be no hollow home
Though made of stone, these walls alone won't keep you safe
With each downpour we discover what it takes

I said, how can I carry on?
All these waves don't make a sailor out of me
You′ll set out with the morning sun
I′m alone, and slow to gather up my leaves
Up in arms, if just to guard our thinning dreams
Carolina, Carolina
Dare I save these words for you?

I don't speak unless I mean to
Someone told me all your sails were raised
So I stood upon the mooring of the bay
Both eyes closed in hopes your colors haven′t changed
Both eyes closed in hopes your colors haven't changed
