The Eskies - When the Storm Came lyrics

Artist: The Eskies

album: After the Sherry Went Round


Shelter, cover me that I will not be found,
I knelt there watched my brother freeze, I watched my children drown,
Surround me in your loving arms and keep me in your prayers,
I used to pray to Jesus, I knew Jesus didn't care
Brick by hopeless brick I built this fortress all around me,
Six feet long and two feet wide so no one could have found me,
And in each brick a message saying "thou shall't never pass",
Such was my devotion against motion but alas
I won't leave (There's iron in this here ground)
I'll build myself a fortress, I'll be safe and I'll be sound,
I won't leave (There's iron in this here ground)
When the storm came, The storm came hard
What was I to do, What was I to do,
There came a raging wind that blew,
What was I to do, What was I to do,
I bit off more than anyone could chew
A fool to think me worthy, A fool to think at all,
I thought my fortress sturdy who'd have thought that it would fall.
