Big Country The Storm
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
