Orphan Of The Storm

Mudcrutch


An orphan of the storm 
She moved to Houston 
To live below 
That copper colored sky 
Louisiana girl 
Born into losing 
The skyline of the city 
Made her cry 

(Chorus) 

So Lord send me down 
A fallen angel 
With a miracle to perform 
And I ain't the kind 
Who gives up 
But I'm so tired of rain 
Lord I'm just an 
Orphan of the storm 

She'd lived there before 
When she was using 
Now she's standing on 
The same old street again 
Yeah that hurricane 
It blew her back to Houston 
Had to give into 
The devil's howling wind 

(Chorus) 

Now somewhere down the line 
There must be salvation 
She thought it through 
20 years ago 
But sin spoke 
A constant invitation 
It was in her veins 
And wouldn't let her go 

(Chorus 2x)
