Force Of Nature

  • Understand she's a force of nature
    Contraband hiding deep inside her soul
    Exorcising her will to lose control
    She lets go

    Common man he don't stand a chance no
    Wonderland pulling Alice in the hole
    No way to save someone who won't take the rope
    And just lets go

    One man stands the edge of the ocean
    A beacon on dry land
    Eyes above the horizon
    In the dark before the dawn

    Hurricane has the trade winds blowing
    Gale force shaking windows in the storm
    Shipwreck on a land that he calls home
    One light on

    Somewhere there's a siren singing
    A song only he hears
    All the strength you might think would
    Disappear, resolving

    One man stands alone awaiting for her to come home
    Eyes above the horizon
    In the dark before the
    Darkness meets the dawn

    Makes me ache
    Makes me shake
    Is it so wrong to think that
    Love can keep us safe?

    Last I saw he was out there waiting
    A silhouette in the black-light full-moon glow
    In the sand there he stands upon the shore
    Forevermore

    Somewhere there's a siren singing
    A song only he hears
    All the strength
    That you might think would disappear, resolving

    One man stands alone awaiting for her to come home
    Eyes are closed, you cannot know
    But his heart don't seem to roam
    Grow
