Brainstorm - Kevin Ayers

You’re safe and you’re warm

Got a break from the storm

And it’s visiting time in the past

And you’ve just reached the part

Where you’re losing your heart

And your spirit is leaving you fast

A then the storm blows a scream

And it crashes your dream

Like a fist through the curtain of glass

And there’s a giant of darkness

Surrounds you with fright

And the only way out is to stand up and fight

And so you shout, scream

Give me back my dream

I need one to get through the day

If it’s lost and if it’s gone

I won’t keep hanging on

And the storm can just blow me away

Blow me away

It’s a long way till dawn

And you’ve got to get warm

'Cause you’re shivering deeply inside

So you turn on the light

Try to burn up the night

But your spirit has run off to hide

There’s nowhere to run

So you wait for the sun

Nowhere to run

You wait for the sun

Shout, scream

Give me back my dream

I need one to get through the day

If it’s lost and if it’s gone

I won’t keep hanging on

And the storm can just blow me away

Blow me away

So shout, scream

Give me back my dream

I need one to get through the day

But if it’s lost and if it’s gone

I won’t keep hanging on

The storm, just blow me away

Blow me away

Wait for the sun

Nowhere to run

Wait for the sun

Nowhere to run
