Lyrics The Storm - The Guild League

The Storm

It was as if the bay had woken up
And walked across the city
I suppose the lightning was quite striking
But I was too damn cold
To think of it as pretty
And now it seems like
The twelve won’t come at all
As the rain hits, horizontally
The glass bus-shelter wall
Now my calves are slowly soaking
As I cower from the rain
And the bullshit this day’s thrown me
Well it sticks to me again
So with traffic at a standstill
And with hope my driving force
Watch me walk into the water
Hear me shouting myself hoarse
And as the rain came down I danced
Over the oily river where the road had been
As though I’d probably missed my chance
I had to tell you that we hadn’t covered everything
The foxes in the fig-trees
They see the city upside-down
And they wrap their wings and settle in
As the weather goes to town
Now if I could be a catchment
For whatever comes to pass
I’d be pouring possibilities
In this half-empty glass
And as the rain came down I danced
Over the oily river where the road had been
And though I’d probably missed my chance
I had to tell you that we hadn’t covered everything
And when the storm had passed I stood
In the clear dry shadow where your car had been
And though the forecast wasn’t good
Fear is a feeling that will never cover everything
Fear is a feeling that will never cover everything
