Dark Weather - Catie Curtis

You made keys at the hardware store

You made one for my front door

But I don’t lock it anymore, understand

Beach house windows wind blows through

Some days the ocean’s cruel

The waves, they don’t suffer fools

Understand summer of lightning

Striking in waves, don’t go in to the water

Stay on the porch while the storm blows away

We’re gonna get through this dark weather

We’re gonna get through this

Together

July turns to August heat

Burns your face and burns my feet

We have to sleep on top of the sheets

Understand

We will watch the circus breaking down

The ferris wheel stand half-way round

The summer tourists leave this town

Understand

Summer of lightning striking in waves

Don’t go in to the water

Stay on the porch while the storm blows away

We’re gonna get through this dark weather

We’re gonna get through this

Together

Together

They can board their windows, they can pack it in

Drive away until the spring

We’ll take our walks out in the wind, yeah

Take my hand, it’s a wonderland

Summer of lightning

Striking in waves, don’t go in to the water

Stay on the porch while the storm blows away

We’re gonna get through this dark weather

We’re gonna get through this

Together

Together, together, together
