Storm rising (Words by Tim Eldridge. Music by Marie Seriot, Copyright 2006)

Four years now since you hit the road
Without a sign and without a word
Just an empty shelf and a lot more space
And an empty pillow to hide my face

Well I turned inside those empty rooms
Hit the whisky hard and called you a fool
I looked for a reason and I couldn't find one
Called your name out loud and the night came down

The storm it rose inside my head
My brain went wild and my heart went dead
The storm it rose before my eyes
It took my body and it took my mind

They found me on the baseball ground
I was mumbling something, just walking around
They shouted out to put my hands on my head
I could stay alive or I could come along dead

They called me my rights, and told me what I'd done
I'd burned my home right to the ground
Then I'd taken my car, went out looking for you
Well I found you baby and I found him too

The storm it rose inside my head
My brain went wild and my heart went dead
The storm it rose before my eyes
It took my body and it took my mind

I could have come quiet, I could have come sweet
Could have laid that gun there at my feet
But I thought of my house, just a burning mess
Smoking away, and I couldn't care less

I thought about you and I thought about us
I thought about him and all that blood
I thought of all that and of nothing much else
Couldn't live without you, couldn't live with myself

So I watched the storm rise inside my head
Smiled and let go and sprayed that lead
Yeah that gun came up before my eyes
It took my body and it took my mind

I got out alive, I was lucky they said
But the ones I hit, well they’re all dead
So I sit with my luck in this concrete cell
And I think about heaven and I think about hell

And when I'm not here I'm breaking rocks
Least they think I am and it makes no odds
But I'm thinking about you and I'm thinking about him
I'm breaking rocks and I'm singing a hymn
