Storm Surge

about

Written during the blizzard that shut down Halifax for two days, with storm surge warnings across the coast, snowed in while the winter feels catch up and the house shakes and a longing for people who are close and far sets in

lyrics

Storms screaming at my doorstep
Storm surging along the coast
Keeps all the ones I love away from me
But I couldn't stand for them to see me this way frosted hair and icy eyes
And the storm surges on, yes the stom surges on

Wind howling in the night
Picks up the pieces of my scattered mind
Blows it in to a brew of wine and juice
Warmth falsely tell me I'm closer to you
But your piled away under your meter of snow in your own cold home

Don't lie to me dear, it aint just the weather
You realized that her love can't make you better
Don't lie to me dear, it ain't just the weather
You realized that her love won't make you better
And the storm surges on

Whiteout the dark pains that I feel
In my icy fingers and rosy cheeks
Leave me be, hate how much I think of your face
On this snowy day, wish you were here with me
But I'm a swollen storming misery
And even if ya could, I don't think ya would
Yes even if you could, I don't know why you would

I won't lie to you dear
It aint just the weather, I realized your love can't make me better, better
I won't lie to you love, it aint just the weather
I realized your love can't make me better, better
And the storm surges on, the storm surges on, storm surges on
