Eye of the Storm

Eye of the Storm - Natalie Merchant

Lyrics by：Natalie Merchant

You swept over me like a raging sea

Lashing and crashing my side 'til I just gave way

You were the tempest tossed

Given up for dead and lost

And you sailed on the eye of the storm

You were the eye of the storm

And you left me behind when you severed all ties

Sworn lone drifter you'd be

But you'll never be free

Oblivion bound you'll never be found

You sail on the eye of the storm

You're the eye of the storm

So high on the seas you roam

A sack of skull and bone

All plunder and pillage inside

The roving roughish kind

And if time hasn't touched

You at all you're the same as before

Still plowing and cursing the

Deep in your man of war

With all the whiskey and rye

And a curse on your mind

You sail on the eye of the storm

You're the eye of the storm

From time to time you still

Crawl across my mind

Just a mumbling stumbling thief

In the black of night

You're a tree with a broken limb

Picked up and thrown by the wind

You're the gale's deafening pound

You're the boom and you're the howl

You're hail stoning the deck

You the ship about to wreck

You're Blackbeard on the bow

With a fuse in your mouth

And you sail on the eye of the storm

You're the eye of the storm
