[Verse]
The wind whipped through the cotton fields,
Lightning cracking in the sky.
The shutters creaked, the back door moaned,
As the storm began to cry.
[Verse 2]
Mama held her rosary tight,
Her whispers lost in the roar.
Daddy lit a lantern low,
Shadows danced across the floor.
[Chorus]
Like the tears of a hurricane,
They’ll come and drown your soul in pain.
No shelter from memories' rain,
Just the tears of a hurricane.
[Verse 3]
The barn came down with a hollow snap,
Split wood and broken dreams.
The river rose, it swept away
Every yesterday we’d seen.
[Bridge]
It's not the wind that cuts you deep,
Not the rain that chills your bones.
It's living with the loss and ache,
When the storm has come and gone.
[Chorus]
Like the tears of a hurricane,
They’ll come and drown your soul in pain.
No shelter from memories' rain,
Just the tears of a hurricane.
