After the hurricane, after the wind and rain
When we lost everything, after the hurricane


It was not the driving rain
That let our love go down the drain
It was not the howlin' wind

That blew away the hopes I planned

After the hurricane, after the wind and rain

When we lost everything, after the hurricane

We were sheltered from the storm

In what we thought was safe and warm
We survived the risin' tide
But there's no place that we can hide



After the hurricane, after the wind and rain

When we lost everything, after the hurricane

Things were scattered, things got tossed

But that's not what we had lost
It's a way of marking time
To fit the reason to the rhyme


After the hurricane, after the wind and rain
When we lost everything, after the hurricane


After the hurricane, after the wind and rain
When we lost everything, after the hurricane
