I hear a storm is brewing It's in the air tonight I hear the thunder warning I see the lightning strike Somewhere the sea is stirring And the heavens turn to grey Across the desert region The clouds erase the sky The wind is howling in through The wilderness inside And looking from my window There's not a soul in sight And the rain comes down And the sun is gone The night is long And the streets are cold and lonely There the river runs And the rain comes down And the sun is gone The night is long And there's no one there beside me There the river runs I hear the silence screaming It seems to call my name The echoes of a lifetime Resound in me again I feel the flood is coming I can't hold back the pain
