Lyrics
HURRICANE, FLOOD, TORNADO
The weather man?s warning
It won?t be long
I?m still on the porch
Singin? a song
The water?s comin? up
It?s blowin? outside
No more ferries
Will be sailin? outta Hyde
Hurricane, flood, tornado
When the first one hit
I just watched it and prayed
Last one, I packed it up,
Turned out I could?ve stayed
Old friends think I?m crazy
They know I?m insane
They say that kind of faith
Is bound to bring you some pain
Hurricane, flood, tornado
Instrumental
Bridge:
The wind and the waves
Will do what they do
I won?t make it through the storms without you
Hurricane, flood, tornado
Hurricane, hurricane
Hurricane, flood, tornado
