The Verlaines Hurricane lyrics

She was a vision to my eyes
Headlong I fell from earth to sky
She said, "Don't cry when I say good-bye."
Then told me so that afternoon

Now I don't know where my head is
And I'm picking through the wreckage
Since that hurricane named you passed through

How long I nearly lost my mind
I told myself I'm way too old to cry
And all of my friends were there to the end
They told me she would sever me in two

But I did not get the message
And now I'm picking through the wreckage
Since that hurricane named you passed through


I can't be swayed by anything you say no more
But night and day I stay at home
Because you said you'd call me

From now on I only want what's mine
To leave her and all this mess behind
I'd drop her a line if I knew what to write
But telling her good riddance doesn't do

Cos my heart ain't got the message
Now I'm picking through the wreckage
Since that hurricane named you passed through
