Ran Before the Storm - Roo Panes

Upwards I climbed

Above me stretched the northern skies

Beneath the great night’s height

I fought alone

I was at war

Both with myself and with it all

My own shadow now my home

No place to call my own

Storms may come

But wild tempests won’t tear me away from your arms

I’ll hold to the good and the true

I’ll weather your storms for the stillness in you

That night I ran, ran, ran before the storm

That night I ran, ran, ran before the storm

That night I ran, ran, ran before the storm

All of this time you said I gave too little

But I say you asked for too much

Love’s a two edged sword

And though I’m yours I’m mine

And you’d see if you dared

That our moments were never owned

Only ever were they shared

That for you there must be me

And for me there must be you

Storms may come

But wild tempests won’t tear me away from your arms

I’ll hold to the good and the true

I’ll weather your storms for the stillness in you

That night I ran, ran, ran before the storm

That night I ran, ran, ran before the storm

That night I ran, ran, ran before the storm

Ancient love, I ran before the storm

No power to take me, 'cause I was ever yours

Ancient love, I ran before the storm

No power to take me, 'cause I was ever yours

That night I ran, ran, ran before the storm

That night I ran, ran, ran before the storm

That night I ran, ran, ran before the storm
