lyrics

Tornado Alley

All the water circling
All the wind that’s driving me
All the water on this street
It’s tornado alley

Windy days that April brings
Dust of all the memories
Seagulls flying out to sea
From tornado alley

And will you fly away
Just to save me one more day
Cuz when I’m so high in the air
I feel more alive than anywhere

I wrote so many songs for you
I tried to shine my beauty through
And I sung them for that special few
And that made them happy

I sang them all the special songs
I sang and they would strum along
But nothing with them lasted long
It was peaks and valleys

But it’s happening now
I am entering your dreamcloud
And I find you alive
Deep inside all the twisted air I find you

Tornado alley, I’m coming to you
Tornado alley, you pull me through
In every season, in sun or snow
Tornados will come and tornados go

….in every season, on every lake
Tornadoes will come, and our love is at stake

But I have shown I am strong
I have affirmed my resolve to soldier on
But what I lost from it all
Was the courage to open up my soul

And now I find you alive
Deep inside all the twisted air I find
And what I wanted the most
Was to hold on to more than your holy ghost

….in every season, tornado’s the reason
our love is at stake

Cuz all the water circling
All the wind that’s driving me
All the water on this street, it’s
Tornado alley…
