Your eyes are brown like a stormy river Your words they twist like a stormy river You turn to ice like a stormy river in the winter In the winter, stormy river, stormy river is you It's a bitter wind that's raging in you In you so long you no longer hear it It sweeps across the floor of your spirit Stormy river, stormy river is you I'm gonna get far away, get far away fast 'Cause the future looks just like the past You can't help but leave damage in your midst I've got no time left in my life for this Rain comes down like cannonballs The thunder crashes, the engine stalls The lightning hits the electric tower In the midnight hour, stormy river Stormy river is you It's a bitter wind that's raging in you Makes me wonder where you've been to But I'm wary of asking questions I don't want to be taught any more lessons Stormy river, stormy river is you
