The Storm Lyrics - The Crossing - Big Country

I came from the hills with a tear in my eye 

The winter closed in and the crows filled the sky 

The houses were burning the flames gold and red 

The people were running with eyes filled with dread 

Ah my James 

They didn't have to do this 

We chased them for miles I had hate in my eyes 

Through forest and moors as the clouds filled the skies 

The storm broke upon us with fury and flame 

Both hunters and hunted washed out in the rain 

I know I can never return 

To the time of hope when I was born 

Let the strength of peace run through my hand 

When we walk away from the ?stormy shore? 

Then I will be afraid no more 

And now I'm sure of where I stand 

Let the strength of peace run through this land 

And nobody smiled as we took back our own 

While rain beat upon us the thunder did moan 

And nobody smiled when we knew what was lost 

We knew well enough only time proves the cost
