Splinters Lyrics - 16 Horsepower

Self sent a twister 

A tearin' after me 

Gonna bust my house to splinters yes 

An' take all that's dear to me 

You say you saw it comin' yeah 

But still you did not flee 

I was too weak I couldn't move 

Held by growth of a tree 

An' yes I fell upon that rock 

I did not die jus' badly broken 

An' in time my healin' it will come yeah 

By the words that he has spoken 

I fell upon that rock 

Who is it now that loves you 

Straight in the front door 

An' crooked out the back yeah 

What is it now you're a slave to 

On your knees out in your shack 

I fell upon that rock yeah 

He's beyond the shadow 

Of your doubt an' mine 

He's no man's opinion 

He is truth divine 

Self sent a twister 

A tearin' after me 

Done bust my house to splinters yeah 

An' took all that's dear to me 

Who is it now that loves you 

Straight in the front door 

An' crooked out the back yeah 

What is it now that you pray to 

As your world begins to crack 

I fell upon that rock yeah 

He's beyond the shadow 

Of your doubt an' mine 

He's no man's opinion 

He is truth divine 

An' yes I fell upon that rock 

I did not die jus' badly broken 

An' in time my healin' came yeah 

By the words that he had spoken
