Storms Lyrics - Storms - Nanci Griffith

(By Eric Taylor) 

As quiet as a street lamp 

This is some kinda town 

Whiskey go easy 

When the sun goes down 

My best to the midnight... 

God, look at the moon 

There's enough for two shadows 

There's only one in the room 

There's only one in the room 

[Chorus:] 

There's a storm out on the water 

Oh, bless the ships at sea 

There's a storm down in my lover's heart 

Oh, God bless me 

I wanna be blown by the wind of his 

Breathing 

Shown by lightening flashing 

Oh, I've never been afraid of the thunder 

I wonder 

Will he rain on me? 

Is loneliness contagious? 

Another damn song about a waitress 

It's the only hotel here 

... and the engine's gotta cool 

I'm a bad hand at solitaire 

You lie to yourself and no one cares 

While the wall paper fades... 

The sun takes the moon 

There should be two to a room 

[Chorus] 

There's a storm out on the water... will he rain on me?
