Hurricane Eye
Tell us all a storyAbout how it used to beMake it up and write it downJust like historyAbout goldilocks and the three bearsNature in the cross hairsAnd how we all ascendedFrom the deep green seaWhen it's not too hotNot too coldNot too meekNot too boldWhen it's just right and you add sunlightThen we're homeFinally homeHome in the land of the homelessFinally home
Oh what are we going to doI never did a thing to youTime peaceful as a hurricane eyePeaceful as a hurricane eye
A history of whispersA shadow of a horseFaces painted black in sorrow and remorseWhite cloud, black crowCrucifix and arrowThe oldest silence speak the loudestUnder the deep green sea
When speech becomes a crimeSilence leads the spiritOver the bridge of time
Over the bridge of timeI'm waling with my familyAnd the road begins to climbAnd it's oh lord how we going to prayWith crazy angel voicesAll nightUntil it's a new day
Peaceful as a hurricanePeaceful as a hurricanePeaceful as a hurricane eyePeaceful as a hurricanePeaceful as a hurricanePeaceful as a hurricane eyePeaceful as a hurricane eye
You want to be a leader?You want to change the game?Turn your back on moneyWalk away from fameYou want to be a missionary?Got that missionary zeal?Let a stranger change your lifeHot does it make you feel?You want to be a writerBut you don't know how or whenFind a quiet placeUse a humble pen
You want to talk talk talk about itAll night squawk aboutThe ocean and the atmosphereWell I've been away for a long timeAnd it looks like a mess around hereI'll be away for a long timeSo here's how the story goesThere was an old womanWho lived in a shoeShe was baking a cinnamon pieShe fell asleep in a washing machineWoke up in a hurricane eye
