After The Storm

Said I thought it would be colder

You put your head upon my shoulder

Ain’t it funny

How time just seems to run

What the hell have you been doin

Not too sure, guess mostly movin

I’ve been spinnin for so long

Now I guess I’m spun

Like the widest river

Like the brightest morn

There is hope where you can’t see it

There is a light after the storm

But won’t you help me to get through it

I’ve been flailing like a child

My mistakes, they are so many

For my lovin heart is wild

Not quite old

But far from young

Body bold(?)

With a youthful tongue

Like a kiss held out of context

I can’t separate my mind

We can set this boat on fire

We can leave it all behind

Like the widest river

Like the brightest morn

There is hope just up ahead

There is a shelter safe and warm

But won’t you help me to get to it

I’ve been selfish

I have lied

My mistakes they are so many

For my ruthless is wild

Like the winds that shield the plains

And cut you down to size

None but the dust and seed remain

They root themselves and rise

Like the widest river

Like the brightest morn

There is hope where you can’t see it

There is a light after the storm

But won’t you help me to get through it

I’ve been flailing like a child

My mistakes they are so many

For my weary heart is wild
