Before The Hurricane - Martin Newell

In a country town, you can hear them say

That it’s later now than it seemed to be the other day

Before the hurricane

In a country town, nothing much has changed

But some trees are down and the view was different in a way

Before the hurricane

But ah, things would be just the same

Ah, after the hurricane

In a country town, you can hear them pray

If a bomb should drop that the wind should never come our way

Before the hurricane

But ah, things would be just the same

Ah, (all blown away) after the hurricane

In a country town, you can hear them say

That it’s later now than it seemed to be the other day

Before the hurricane
