lyrics

The Gathering Storm

Verse 1
if you and me could find the truth with a key
I'd open the door so everybody could see
the real cost of life to be living here for free
then you'd see that it's not so easy

Chorus
you say that you want love now
tell me that you wanna help out
but that you just don't know how
to shelter from the gathering storm

Verse 2
July has lied to us now too many times
promising drought but the flood waters will rise
the answers to the troubles are like ships in the night
and I'd write you but it's only a line

Chorus
you say that you want love now
tell me that you wanna help out
but that you just don't know how
to shelter from the gathering storm

Middle 8
I don't fear it but I know it scares you
tears in the morning papers
but what good will that do
a thousand years of chances but you've wasted that to
I don't think I believe in you

Verse 3
I see your innocence washed up on the shore
mock horror in the daily's and the captain's appaled
good luck with your bandwagon but I'm nobody's fool
and I'm pretty sure to kill ain't to cure

Chorus
you say that you want love now
tell me that you wanna help out
but that you just don't know how
to shelter from the gathering storm

Chorus
you say that you want love now (you say you want love now)
tell me that you wanna help out (you wanna help out)
but that you just don't know how (don't know how)
to shelter from the gathering storm
