Lyrics
I've been searching for meaning in the eye of a storm,
Somewhere to shelter that's cosy and warm.
Where candlelight flickers, shadows dance on the walls,
In comfort I'll wish for the end of the war
There's no reason to feel the way that I do,
While I'm working away, I think of home and of you.
My memory slips through the hours of the night,
I wish you were here still holding me tight.
As the wind that is blowing and rattles my door,
I could have done better, I could have done more.
When someone beside me held out a hand,
And whispered the words that helped me to stand.
I noticed a change in my body and mind,
In the quiet of a moment that's so hard to find.
When people like us are so easy to please,
Why do we struggle for one second of peace?
Let loose the shackles and unburden my chains,
Everything changes but still stays the same.
It's driving me crazy, It's breaking my heart,
They can't stop the bullets that tare lives apart.
I've been searching for meaning in the eye of a storm,
Somewhere to shelter that's cosy and warm.
Where candlelight flickers, shadows dance on the walls,
In comfort I'll wish for the end of the war.
As the wind that is blowing and rattles my door,
I could have done better, I could have done more.
When someone beside me held out a hand,
And whispered the words that helped me to stand.
I noticed a change in my body and mind,
In the quiet of a moment that's so hard to find.
When people like us are so easy to please,
Why do we struggle for one second of peace?
I've been searching for meaning in the eye of a storm,
Somewhere to shelter that's cosy and warm.
Where candlelight flickers, shadows dance on the walls,
In comfort I'll wish for the end of the war.
There's no reason to feel the way that I do,
While I'm working away, I think of home and of you.
My memory slips through the hours of the night,
I wish you were here still holding me tight.
