An orphan of the storm
She moved to Houston
To live below

That copper colored sky
Louisiana girl
Born into losing

The skyline of the city
Made her cry


(Chorus)

So Lord send me down

A fallen angel
With a miracle to perform
And I ain't the kind

Who gives up
But I'm so tired of rain
Lord I'm just an

Orphan of the storm

She'd lived there before

When she was using
Now she's standing on
The same old street again

Yeah that hurricane
It blew her back to Houston
Had to give into

The devil's howling wind

(Chorus)


Now somewhere down the line
There must be salvation

She thought it through
20 years ago
But sin spoke

A constant invitation
It was in her veins
And wouldn't let her go


(Chorus 2x)
