I went out looking for a hurricane
I went out looking for a war
Now the years flow by my window
And all the days coming knocking down my door
Wish it was a different kind of country
Wish I lived on the north edge of the south
Send my love to Virginia
Why I left I just can't remember now, anyhow
I'll be your hurricane
Around your eye
Spinning your blue sky round
I drove out last night to Arabi
To see where the tornado laid down the sky
And stumbled out into the sea
Oh God, why would you punish them so?
How can I let it go?
I've got to let it go somehow
Won't you come down for a little while?
It's nice in the springtime
Don't give me up now
Hurricane
I'm yours
Tearing you down.
