Morning Storm - Paul Kelly

We wake together, hang on to each other

To the sound of the morning storm

Safe undercover, sudden the thunder

Rolling in with the morning storm

Outside the sky is putting on a show

Dark clouds descending, all around a weird glow

Stop all the clocks and burrow down low

Oh, love, let’s lock down and let this thing blow

Here comes the rain, hitting on the pane

All around me your sparks in a swarm

Let the sky fall, we have it all

Inside our slow-moving storm

This room is the world, our bed is the earth

Nothing else is, here’s all death and birth

You’re a canopy, a cradle, we’re alto and bass

Bound by you, I’m a king of infinite space

A rumble far off, the sound of a bell

Swims through the tempest its soft fall and swell

Tolls for the dead, tolls for the warm

Tolls for all creatures biding the storm

We make a hush in the morning storm

Just us in the morning storm
