|
You and I are are two of a kind |
|
Two restless spirits of the same mind |
|
We know the risks and yet we stay |
|
We're brave or crazy or stubborn that way |
|
You live your life |
|
In the shadow of a whirlwind |
|
It might just come back again |
|
I'll hold on to you |
|
You hold on to me |
|
And we'll stand our ground on Tornado Alley |
|
The old ones talk about the one in '43 |
|
It blew through town unexpectedly |
|
A little girl was found cryin' down by the mill run |
|
And to this day nobody knows where she came from |
|
You live your life |
|
In the shadow of a whirlwind |
|
It might just come back again |
|
I'll hold on to you |
|
You hold on to me |
|
And we'll stand our ground on Tornado Alley |
|
Now everyone's got some story of narrow escape |
|
Won by luck, fate or grace |
|
You can run for cover, but you cannot hide |
|
The only safe place is the one that you hold inside |
|
It's a misfit, a wild card, it's living in your backyard |
|
It hears no voice but its ownYou live your life |
|
In the shadow of a whirlwind |
|
It might just come back again |
|
I'll hold on to you |
|
You hold on to me |
|
And we'll stand our ground on Tornado Alley |
|
There's just some things you just can't tame |
|
Some mysteries you'll never call by name |
