The Mariner's Children
It Carved Your Name Into the Ground
A storm so loudBroke the windows, shook the houseHow the dogs they howledBarking threats to thunder cloudsHow the wind it warnedBoard the windows, bolt the doorsAnd the thunder roaredLest the warning be ignoredAnd the sky it screamedLightning tearing at its seamsAnd the evergreens roots were ripped out the ground cleanHow it tore the cloudsThat its rage had tried to boundAnd with a shrieking soundIt carved your name into the groundOh, I will scream and shoutOh, don’t you shut me outHow the waves they grewLike mountains they seemed to loomAnd the wind it blew them over me and youHow those people flew When the twister chose them toHow it wound and threw up a town that I once knewLetras de cancionesBut those waves would leaveJust like gums they would recedeAnd the sun would cleaveThrough the storm and set us freeIn a broken townAll we’d built had been torn downEverywhere was foundYour name carved in the groundOh, I will scream and shoutOh, don’t you shut me outOh, oh my loveHow we rage and how we roarI’ll put an axe through your front doorIf you don’t open it for meAnd oh, oh my loveMust we fight for evermoreCan’t we calm ourselves and talkCalm ourselves and talk
