Stormy River - Marshall Crenshaw

Your eyes are brown like a stormy river

Your words they twist like a stormy river

You turn to ice like a stormy river in the winter

In the winter, stormy river, stormy river is you

It’s a bitter wind that’s raging in you

In you so long you no longer hear it

It sweeps across the floor of your spirit

Stormy river, stormy river is you

I’m gonna get far away, get far away fast

'Cause the future looks just like the past

You can’t help but leave damage in your midst

I’ve got no time left in my life for this

Rain comes down like cannonballs

The thunder crashes, the engine stalls

The lightning hits the electric tower

In the midnight hour, stormy river

Stormy river is you

It’s a bitter wind that’s raging in you

Makes me wonder where you’ve been to

But I’m wary of asking questions

I don’t want to be taught any more lessons

Stormy river, stormy river is you
