Mudcrutch - Orphan Of The Storm lyrics

An orphan of the storm she moved to Houston
To live below that copper colored sky
Louisiana girl born into losing
The skyline of the city made her cry

So lord send me down a fallen angel
With a miracle to perform
And I ain't the kind who gives up
But I'm so tired of rain lord I'm just an
Orphan of the storm

She'd lived there before when she was using
Now she's standing on
The same old street again
Yeah that hurricane
It blew her back to Houston had to give into
The devil's howling wind

Now somewhere down the line
There must be salvation
She thought it through 20 years ago


But sin spoke a constant invitation
It was in her veins and wouldn't let her go
