You Are The Storm

(Matraca Berg / Ronnie Samoset)

I see you standing there

Outside the windows of my heart

So cold and shivering

There in your world that is so dark

I wish that I could set you free

From all your insecurities

But you threw away the key

When you locked the door

I tried to love you

I tried to keep you from harm

But I might as well be

Holding the wind in my arms

Oh, I can't give you shelter

When you are the storm

There is a wind tonight

That blows and chills me to the bone

Here by the fireside

Even the heat can't keep me warm

I'm haunted by your troubled soul

That rages out of control

I had to let you go

Had to let you go

I tried to love you

I tried to keep you from harm

But I might as well be

Holding the wind in my arms

Oh, I can't give you shelter

When you are the storm

Sometimes I lie here and wonder

If you'll ever change

Then I hear the lightning and thunder

Oh, and the rain

Oh, I tried to love you

And I tried to keep you from harm

But I might as well be

Holding the wind in my arms

Oh, I can't give you shelter

You are the storm

Oh, I can't give you shelter

You are the storm

Oh, oh, oh, oh
