Ed Harcourt › Lyrics › The Storm Is Coming

Well what starts out as a warm breeze
Turns into something more
Like the lightning that burns down houses
Or the wind that blows down doors

Oh I see it in the distance
It moves much faster than I think
Yes this storm will wreak much havoc
Bring my sanity to the brink

Once I was so young and careless
Never strayed much from the path
Now I find myself in trouble
Never knowing when to laugh

And as my eyes sink into my skull
I am wired to the max
Gonna pull myself together
You can see I'm coming back

If the storm is coming, the storm is coming
The storm is coming
It's gonna make a beautiful sound
I hope it turns your life upside down

Now the wooden gate is creaking
And the windows loudly rattle
Yet I still venture towards it
Like I'm marching into battle

Oh I could heed your good advice
And stay in comfort back at home
But there it is in it's splendor
And it's chilling me down to the bone

Once I was so young and careless
Never strayed much from the path
Now I find myself in trouble
Never knowing when to laugh

And as my eyes sink into my skull
I am wired to the max
Gonna pull myself together
I'm gonna pull myself together

And if the storm is coming, the storm is coming
The storm is coming
It's gonna make a beautiful sound
I hope it turns your life upside down

If the storm is coming, the storm is coming
The storm is coming
It's gonna make a beautiful sound
I hope it turns your life upside down
Down, down, down

I hope it turns your life upside down
