Stormy Waters
Can’t seem to turn aside
These thoughts are yours or mine
I stayed up all night to see the dawn
The air was cold the sky was gray
With shades of light
I stayed up all night to see the dawn
She takes me under stormy waters
Cradles my head as sleep comes on
I’ll drown in her eyes, dream in daylight
And wake again in her twilight
She left to write more silly words
She doesn’t know
I stayed up all night to see the dawn
Awake too long my skin will crawl
It’s serpentine
I’ve been up all night to see her dawn
She takes me under stormy waters
Cradles my head as sleep comes on
I’ll drown in her eyes, dream in daylight
And wake again in her twilight
Alarm bells ring it’s nearly nine
I’m too alive
I’ve been up all night to see the dawn
Defenses dropped I’m so aware
Of passing time
I’ve been up all night to see the dawn
I’ll be submerged in passing tides
As senses fade into the night
I stayed to see her dawn
She takes me under stormy waters
Cradles my head as sleep comes on
I’ll drown in her eyes, dream in daylight
And wake again in her twilight
She takes me under stormy waters
Cradles my head as sleep comes on
I’ll drown in her eyes, dream in daylight
And wake again in her twilight
Song Notes
“Stormy Waters” was the first song fully written by drummer Rick McMurray and is very much a fan-favourite, and regarded as a lost gem. Rick wrote it for his girlfriend after their first argument. The song had the working title “Ricky IV” when it was demoed.
