S.J. Tucker - Storm lyrics
[S.J. Tucker - Storm lyrics]
People treat you differently
When they believe you've gone where
They could never go
And seen beyond the kind horizon
Of the only life they know
The minute you get back to town
Your family's turned upside down
It's better just to keep going
To where no one's eyes are cold
Better off just following your footsteps on
I am far from the southland, where I was born
Growing steadily care-worn
(be the river, not the stone)
Blessed be the bold magnolia
Far away from home
Dancing in the eye of the storm
Sometimes it's easier just to keep driving
Saunter up to that horizon
Let nobody's town become your own
They see a woman on a mission
With a song for anyone who'll listen
And when the sun is rising
She is already gone
By the time the dawn has broken
She's as good as gone
Far from the southland where she was born
Growing secretly care-worn
(be the river, not the stone)
Blessed be the bold magnolia
Far away from home
Dancing in the eye of the storm
Better to be the river
Not the stone in the middle
Best to be the changing water
Not the pebble dragged along
Cross the sky cross the water
You are Mercury's daughter
And the world will envy you your gypsy song
Cross the sky cross the water
You are Mercury's daughter
And the world will envy you your gypsy song
You'll be far from the southland
Where you were born
Growing stubbornly care-worn
(be the river, not the stone)
But blessed be the Bold Magnolia
Far away from home
Dancing in the eye of the storm
When they believe you've gone where
They could never go
And seen beyond the kind horizon
Of the only life they know
The minute you get back to town
Your family's turned upside down
It's better just to keep going
To where no one's eyes are cold
Better off just following your footsteps on
I am far from the southland, where I was born
Growing steadily care-worn
(be the river, not the stone)
Blessed be the bold magnolia
Far away from home
Dancing in the eye of the storm
Sometimes it's easier just to keep driving
Saunter up to that horizon
Let nobody's town become your own
They see a woman on a mission
With a song for anyone who'll listen
And when the sun is rising
She is already gone
By the time the dawn has broken
She's as good as gone
Far from the southland where she was born
Growing secretly care-worn
(be the river, not the stone)
Blessed be the bold magnolia
Far away from home
Dancing in the eye of the storm
Better to be the river
Not the stone in the middle
Best to be the changing water
Not the pebble dragged along
Cross the sky cross the water
You are Mercury's daughter
And the world will envy you your gypsy song
Cross the sky cross the water
You are Mercury's daughter
And the world will envy you your gypsy song
You'll be far from the southland
Where you were born
Growing stubbornly care-worn
(be the river, not the stone)
But blessed be the Bold Magnolia
Far away from home
Dancing in the eye of the storm
