INTRO: CHORUS: After the hurricane After the wind and rain When we lost everything After the hurricane It was not the drivin' rain That let our love go down the drain It was not the howlin' wind That blew away the hopes I pinned CHORUS INTRO We were sheltered from the storm In what we thought was safe and warm We survived the risin' tide But there's no place that we could hide CHORUS SOLO Things were scattered, things got tossed But that was not what we had lost It's a way of markin' time To fit the reason to the rhyme CHORUS (2x) INTRO
