The storm has hit, pulled the tide
Em D
Did its things and waved goodbye

It left a mess within its stride
Em D
But how you get mad at those cloudy eyes?
[Verso 2]

All people cried "Oh please don't come again"

I'm a steam train, I'm a wrecking ball
Em D
I'm a nuisance, I'm inside your walls

I am the storm
D
I am the storm

What's done is done, it's had its way

Clearin' all that stands in its way

It eats the crops, and floods the town

Rips up the road, tears all the branches down
