Heavy Storm lyrics

I wish I could believe in something bigger

More than these trees, these winds, these oceans

I wish I could believe what they tell me

I saw, I saw, I saw my brother pack his bags and leave

We made our goodbyes and now he is settled down in the city

Where he doesn't have to be himself

He used to play an un-tuned guitar

While he sang about me and he sung about the stars

I used to dream about another time

And now it's all clear that's the only time I wish would come back

I wish I could hold on a little longer

Still my worried stomach and calm my hunger

I wish I could believe what they taught me

I saw, I saw, I saw, I saw an old photograph

And the picture that appeared, well it took me back to the time

When she was around

She used to play that old mandolin

And the moon and the sea invited her in

I wish that I had told her by then

But she knew deep down that she only wished that time would come back

A new day awaits me

I could be gone today

A new day awaits me

We could be here to stay

We used to wait for our heavy storms

To take us away while something new would form

I wish that I could have known by then

We all know now that we're never getting back to those times
