When the Storm Finally Breaks
A song about storms, both outside and inside
VI: It's ninety five in the shade
And it ain't even noon
Gonna drown in this glass of lemonade
If this heat wave don't break soon
Dust rises up from the ground
The air is heavy and still
The sweat beads on my brow
Cooked like a dog upon the grill
Then the clouds grow long and tall
The sky goes to grey and black
And then the rain begins to fall
And I hear that thunder crack
Chorus:
Gonna stand out in the rain
And let it flow down my face
And wash away all the pain
When the storm finally breaks
VII: It's getting chilly in here
Down at the old homestead
She's not completely clear
If it was something she did or said,
He was, stormin' round the kitchen
She heard the back door slam
Found him out by the old oak tree
With the letter in his hands
Seems an old war buddy had passed away
Without a warning at all
And as she took him in her arms
And the tears began to fall
Chorus:
Gonna stand out in the rain
And let it flow down my face
And wash away all the pain
When the storm finally breaks
Bridge
Storms they may be big and loud
Or they may be bottled inside
But when they break you can be sure
The sun will be shining on the other side
Chorus:
Gonna stand out in the rain
And let it flow down my face
And wash away all the pain
When the storm finally breaks
