Hurricane

It was Allison, and you walked in
Turned me upside down
Talking mouth to ear, and two spilled beers
All alone within the crowd
I caught your eyes
All through the night
And they caught me
They still do daily

Around here we count our years in hurricanes
So that night that you blew in and the music was playing
I knew there was something big about to change
‘Cause you came on a hurricane
Swept me away
Right out to sea
My heart’s a flood
Just like these city streets

We were reunited just in time
When Ike hit the shore
I had spent a year washed in tears
But I’ll never forget that storm
By candlelight
It raged all night
It could not take
The love the we’d saved

Now I believe there isn’t anything that we can’t face
The thing about losing it all is that it makes a place
For the real important things
Like a night at home, in worn-out clothes
And you cuddled up with me

Sweep me away
Right out to sea
My heart’s a flood
Just like these city streets
I’ll be okay
If you’ll just hold me
Whatever comes
On the hurricane
