lyrics

The sky is getting darker and the glass begins to fall
the flicker of the candle's throwing shadows on the wall
sitting here in silence watching the clouds rolling in
and spilling down the mountain
waiting for the storm to begin

the ceiling fan is spinning a strange pattern in my head
and I can't help thinking about something somebody said
the crackle of the radio and the rattle of rain on the tin
voices in the darkness
waiting for the storm to begin

a siren in the distance, the evening air is cool
the bottle's almost empty and the ashtray's nearly full
waiting for the moment when it all begins to spin
voices in the darkness
waiting for the storm to begin
