Life In The Storm

Edwin McCain

The rip of thunder it splits the day

It's jagged proof for the strength of chaos

There's a strange music in the rumble

It's like the anger and love's loss



So you ask me to seek shelter

And with you I know it's safe and warm

But my dreams are in the torrent

And my life is in the storm



The message burned upon my skin

It weighs heavy on the sublime

I wouldn't change my way even if I could

So I run as fast and dream as hard

And sometimes just pay it no mind

And drink as much from this bittersweet well

Before I run dry on time



So you ask me to seek shelter

And with you I know it's safe and warm

But my dreams are in the torrent

And my life is in the storm



So don't tell be your heart's desires

Unless I begin my apologies now

`Cause I don't understand that I would love again

And I'm damn sure that I wouldn't know how



So you ask me to seek shelter

And with you I know it's safe and warm

But my dreams are in the torrent

And my life is in the storm



So you ask me to seek shelter

And with you I know it's safe and warm

But my dreams are in the torrent

And my life is in the storm
