KITCHEN STORIES: 02. Whispering Hurricane (carol laula)
FALLING OUT OF TREES
THINKING YOU’RE UNBREAKABLE
AN ELOQUENT DISEASE
YOU KNOW IT’S UNMISTAKABLE
SOME BODY TURNED THE LIGHT OUT
THE DARKNESS SMILED ON YOU
LYING WAITING IS ALL YOU CAN DO
BATHING IN THE OCEAN
INDELIBLE
SIX PARTS TO APPORTION
YOU KEPT IT ALL
SOMEBODY THREW A LINE OUT
YOU HELD IT IN YOUR HAND
HOLDING FAST COS THIS LINE’S DRAWN IN THE SAND
MOVING ALONG YOU’RE THE HURRICANE
CARRYING BROKEN STRONG AND FREE
BUT WHERE THE NIGHT BELONGS, YOU PRAY FOR THE SUN
AND YOU WHISPER…ENOUGH…
TRADING WITH YOUR DEVIL
I’D OFFER MY SOUL
FOR THE PLEASURE AND THE PAIN
OF YOUR GROWING OLD
MOVING ALONG YOU’RE THE HURRICANE
CARRYING BROKEN STRONG AND FREE
BUT WHERE THE NIGHT BELONGS, YOU PRAY FOR THE SUN
AND YOU WHISPER…ENOUGH…
FALLING OUT OF TREES
THOUGHT YOU WERE UNBREAKABLE
AN ELOQUENT DISEASE
YOU KNOW IT’S UNMISTAKABLE
