On a day bathed in so many shades of misty grey There upon those rugged cliffs above the Fundy Bay Heart pounding like the thunder in those crashing waves Trembling lips dripping with heart felt words I could not say So shy, I was a teenage girl so much in love My soul on fire like that blazing stormy sky above Where lighting crackled and sizzled in a burning flame As his yearning eyes searched mine there in that wind swept rain Taking cover in that shack with broken window panes Where tattered pieces of old lace curtains still remained Peels of nervous laughter silenced in that broken frame As the storm outside raged against us all in vain When with tears of stormy weather still running down his face His lips found mine there in that that old abandoned place A moment so electrifying it seared my soul With a memory that haunts me now that I am old When stormy weather lets me see him as he was that day There on those lofty cliffs above the Fundy Bay My heart pounding like the thunder in those crashing waves As I drift in the beauty of those shades of misty grey
