Beautiful Storm
Greg Johnson Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I got caught in a beautiful storm
With no one around me that I could shout to warn
Love will always be a mystery to me
How can you believe in something
That you cannot even flee from

A beautiful storm, blanket fog
You're a woman, I'm a dog
Bursting river, flooding eyes
Once she passes
The sun will once more rise
The sun will once more rise

I got drenched in a beautiful storm
Now the rain got cold but the wind blew dry and warm
It's hard to see where you're going sometimes
And mercury gates just starts to rise
Our unbalanced hearts and windblown minds outside, outside

A beautiful storm, blanket fog
You're a woman, I'm a dog
Bursting river, flooding eyes
Once she passes
The sun will once more rise
The sun will once more rise

I want my umbrella, I want my cake
I need refreshing, but I don't know how much water I can take

A beautiful storm, blanket fog
You're a woman, I'm a dog
Bursting river, flooding eyes
Once she passes
The sun will once more rise

A beautiful storm, blanket break
I'm a woman, I'm not an ape
A bursting river, flooding eyes
If she passes
The sun will once more rise
The sun will once more rise
The sun will once more rise up





Come on, rise
