My love is loud

A thunder cloud

A mother searching in a crowd



My love is fast

As burnished brass

A serpent hiding in the grass



I am the storm at summer's end

Watch the willows mourn

Watch the branches bend

And the wind don't know your daddy's name

And the heart will break all the plans you've made



My love is bored

When it's ignored

A soldier playing with his sword



Our love is mean

It'll cause a scene

Burn a hole right through the screen



I am the storm at summer's end

Watch the willows mourn

Watch the branches bend

And the wind don't know your daddy's name

And the heart will break all the plans you've made
