Frightened By The Sound - Justin Townes Earle

Silence broken

Thunder roll

Followed by the bright light

From a lightning strike

Wind is pickin' up

To a low moan

Feel the pressure drop

Rain start and stop

Storm coming

No way it’s gonna miss us now

Storm coming

Don’t be frightened by the sound

Moment of silence

Uneasy still

Then come the steady rain

Hard against the window pane

But keep an eye on the river

It’s already up

There’s no need to worry yet

Let us not forget

That last time rain

Come down like this

So much was lost

We’ll never know the true cost

Storm’s coming

No way it’s gonna miss us now

Storm coming

Don’t be frightened by the sound

There’s so much at stake

How far will it go?

Only a fool would place such a bet

On which way the winds will blow

There’s no way of knowing

What the damage will be

We can’t just live on hope

We’ll never get out alone

Storm coming

No way it’s gonna miss us now

Storm coming

Don’t be frightened by the sound of it

Don’t be frightened by the sound
