Big Country - The Storm lyrics

The winter closed in and the crows filled the sky

The houses were burning the flames gold and red

The people were running with eyes filled with dread

Ah my James

They didn't have to do this

We chased them for miles I had hate in my eyes

Through forest and moors as the clouds filled the skies

The storm broke upon us with fury and flame

Both hunters and hunted washed out in the rain

I know I can never return

To the time of hope when I was born

Let the strength of peace run through my hand

When we walk away from the ?stormy shore?

Then I will be afraid no more

And now I'm sure of where I stand

Let the strength of peace run through this land

And nobody smiled as we took back our own

While rain beat upon us the thunder did moan

And nobody smiled when we knew what was lost

We knew well enough only time proves the cost
