The Storm Is Coming

Ed Harcourt

Compositor: Ed Harcourt / Leo Abrahams

Well what starts out as a warm breeze turns into something more
Like the lightning that burns down houses
Or the wind that blows down doors
Oh I see it in the distance

It moves much faster than I think
Yes this storm will wreak much havoc

Bring my sanity to the brink

Once I was so young and careless
Never strayed much from the path
Now I find myself in trouble
Never knowing when to laugh
And as my eyes sink in my skull
I am wired to the max

Gonna pull myself together
You can see I'm coming back

If the storm is coming, the storm is coming.
The storm is coming,
It's gonna make a beautiful sound
I hope it turns your life upside down
Now the wooden gate is creaking
And the windows loudly rattle
Yet I still venture towards it,
Like I'm marching into battle
Oh I could heed your good advice
And stay in comfort back at home
But there it is in its splendour
And it's chilling me down to the bone

Once I was so young and careless
Never strayed much from the path
Now I find myself in trouble
Never knowing when to laugh
And as my eyes sink in my skull
I am wired to the max
Gonna pull myself together
You can see I'm coming back

If the storm is coming, the storm is coming.
The storm is coming,
It's gonna make a beautiful sound
I hope it turns your life upside down

Down down down
I hope it turns your life upside down
