Storm Warning Lyrics - Singles - Amy Speace

Get the laundry off the line 

Tape the cracks in the windows 

Lock the doors shut the lights 

Stamp out all the mirrors 

This is gonna hurt 

This is gonna hurt 

Count the gauze and the dressings 

On the antiseptic shelves 

Clean the muskets and the bayonets 

In the arsenal 

CHORUS 

The missing gives it meaning you whispered at my neck 

You kissed me for the first time right before you left 

I stood there with my eyes closed praying for your safe return 

What I wish now that Id done is beg you not to join 

Feel the wind direction change 

The darkening is nearing 

Electricity is creeping 

With a pinprick and a tearing 

CHORUS 

The telegram they brought today was brief and featherweight 

It said you died a soldier with a brave and quiet grace 

The war it rages closer Ill prepare for the storm 

For the coming midnight battles, for all l that I will mourn 

My wounds will itch and open 

They will scar in the air 

Its the love that will linger 

Like your scent in my hair 

CHORUS
