Storm - Pink Martini/The Von Trapps
I
I want to be one of those storms
Falling over the sea
I want to rely
Stars fiercer than Mars smile back at me
Even as I speak
I hear the wind over those peaks
And picture the timbers
As they creak out in the storm
Ah
Ah
When the clouds swirl
And all the world is waking with the wind
And when the waves hurl themselves
Against the shore to win
Oh how the heart leaps
With the lightning and the drum
Oh how the soul aches
When the wind through green fields runs
Half of me answers the storm
In its wild sing-song
The other says here by the fire is where I belong
Eyes wide may see so
Much that they know where the winds flow
Yet they know that they are a leaf blown
And fall where they're sown
Oh when the clouds swirl
And all the world is waken with the wind
And when the waves hurl themselves
Against the shore to win
Oh how the heart leaps
With the lightning and the drum
Oh how the soul aches
When the wind through green fields runs
Ah
