An Orphan Of The Storm Lyrics - Mudcrutch

An orphan of the storm 

She moved to Houston 

To live below 

That copper colored sky 

Louisiana girl 

Born into losing 

The skyline of the city 

Made her cry 

(Chorus) 

So lord send me down 

A fallen angel 

With a miracle to perform 

And I ain't the kind 

Who gives up 

But I'm so tired of rain 

Lord I'm just an 

Orphan of the storm 

She'd lived there before 

When she was using 

Now she's standing on 

The same old street again 

Yeah that hurricane 

It blew her back to Houston 

Had to give into 

The devil's howling wind 

(Chorus) 

--- 

Now somewhere down the line 

There must be salvation 

She thought it through 

20 years ago 

But sin spoke 

A constant invitation 

It was in her veins 

And wouldn't let her go 

(Chorus 2x)
