WHEN THE TWISTER TOUCHED DOWN
If I could
paint a picture of what I saw, it would all be black and white
She was waiting in the stillness with a storm behind her eyes
If I had heard a warning, I would have tried to change the way she felt
But she was hiding her emotions, then like a train straight out of hell
When the twister touched down
The birds stopped singing
And I wished that I could fly
But I could only run for shelter
And there was no place left to hide
As our love came unwound
- When the twister touched down
I still have
scars from when she left me, but I've come to realize
How the words that went unspoken grew clouded in her mind
She was angry, she was restless, and the winds began to blow
Until she finally had to let loose, and the twister broke up our home
When the twister touched down
The birds stopped singing
And I wished that I could fly
But I could only run for shelter
And there was no place left to hide
As our love came unwound
- When the twister touched down
I guess she held it all inside as long as she could
And in her silence I believed - and
misunderstood
But when the twister touched down
The birds stopped singing
And I wished that I could fly
I could only run for shelter
And there was no place left to hide
As our love came unwound
- When the twister touched down
When the twister touched down
