You Are The Storm - Lyrics by Matraca Berg


Lyrics

(matraca berg/ronnie samoset)

I saw you standing there
Outside the windows of my heart
So cold and shivering
There in your world that is so dark
I wish that i could set you free
>from all your insecurities
But you threw away the key
When you locked the door

I tried to love you
I tried to keep you from harm
But i might as well be holding the wind in my arms
Oh, i can't give you shelter
When you are the storm

There is a wind tonight
That blows and chills me to the bone
Here by the fireside
Even the heat can't keep me warm
I'm haunted by your troubled soul
That rages so out of control
But i had to let you go
I had to let you go

I tried to love you
I tried to keep you from harm
But i might as well be holding the wind in my arms
Oh, i can't give you shelter
When you are the storm

Sometimes i live here and wonder
If you'll ever change
Then i hear the lightning and thunder and the rain

I tried to love you
I tried to keep you from harm
But i might as well be holding the wind in my arms
Oh, i can't give you shelter
When you are the storm

Oh, i can't give you shelter
When you are the storm
Oh, i can't give you shelter
When you are the storm
Oh, i can't give you shelter
When you are the storm
