The Gathering Storm - red kite

Did you wait for the feeling, did you wait for the gathering storm

I was told this would happen, I’ve been caught up in this pattern before

It’s a trait, it’s a habit, I just want the hope of having that song

So I’ll wait for the feeling, yeah I’ll wait for the gathering storm

The gathering storm

When those eyes settle on me, it’s a hurricane about to unfold

I was born to be trouble, I was born to do damage untold

These wings, they grow like they did ten years ago when the fabric first

Tore

But I can’t shake the feeling, so I’ll wait for the gathering storm

The gathering storm

Batten down the hatches, pack the matches for the fires we’ll have to light

Keep your words undercover, tie them down, keep those feelings out of sight

Keep them close to your chest, you’ll need your strength, try to rest and

Keep warm

And we’ll listen for the warnings, yeah we’ll wait for the gathering storm

The gathering storm

Soon the trees with their shaking will come quaking, will come crashing to

The floor

With their limbs torn asunder and their roots ripped from under them

I don’t mean to be dramatic, there’s that trait, there’s that habit once

Again

I’ll just settle for this feeling while we wait for the gathering storm

The gathering storm

Oh, I’ll wait for the gathering storm

Yeah, I’ll wait for the gathering storm

The gathering storm
