once a bright and promised boy
was withered by the drag of time
he wouldn't wake to greet the day
nor to say this voice is mine
the wind was strong against the face
eyes open and close
like shutters in a hurricane
a storm of thoughts running through his brain
the day is done and yesterday
is just a memory that fades away
to watch it all evaporate
and all the clouds will blow away
I'm not looking for just any port in the storm
i've got a precious cargo that i've got to get home
and i will weather the worst of any tempest
i've got to make it back home
