The Storm

from True Compass by Tret Fure

/

lyrics

There’s a storm that cuts across Superior
It’s a storm that weathers through time
And it breaks all boundaries and borders
And it batters the shifting shoreline
And the waves come pounding like a heart beat
With a rhythm that keeps its own time
What I’ve learned from the pull of the tide is that
The storm keeps the waters in line

Why would we dive into deep waters
Why would we risk life and limb
If not to experience euphoria
And if not to dive right in
And isn’t love the same as the storm line
Don’t we throw ourselves into that sea
But with a hope that the rescue will always be there
For you and for me

There’s a dark, dark cloud on the horizon
And it boils up to the sky
And it holds the sea in its strong arms
And it rains it down with a cry
And I wonder why few seems to notice
As the pressure continues to rise
That love is the truest barometer
And the absence of love our demise

So I offer you my warmest
And I take you out of the wind
And I hold you until you stop shaking
And I warm you without and within
And the storms are a constant reminder
That nothing in life holds still
It’s an endless battle of highs and lows
It’s a weathered battle of wills

Chorus:

So I’ll treasure every season
Be it winter, fall, summer or spring
And I know the heat of the storm front
And I feel the cleansing it brings
You can always take cover from lightning
You can stoke the fire against the cold
But to run away from a darkening sky
Is to never let love take hold

Chorus:
