Patrick Watson - The Storm Lyrics






Found himself out into the road
The dust up to his nose
Put that anchor down
To find a place where he could go
'cause he was looking for the shelter
From the storm

You were looking for a place that you could call your own... you...

Kept on, now walking past the signs you used to see
Kept on getting used to dropping-anchor
In the sea
'cause you're looking for a shelter of the storm
Looks like news that storm is coming closer every day now...

Uuu...

Drove himself into a town
The roads were paved with gold
(all the roads were paved with gold)
Eyes wide open, shutters closed
(eyes wide open, shutters closed)
Just waiting for my time to know
(quarter to twelve is time to go)

The sorrow's hiding underground
The rain is falling upside down
(and the clouds are turning red like flames)

Oh 'cause I'm looking for a shelter from the storm...
'cause she's getting closer every daaaaaaayyyyyyeyeyeyehey!

The storm is getting closer every day
The storm is getting closer every day
The storm is getting closer every day

Every day

  1. S.... P....

    I love their videos, fully immersive weirdness.

  2. A.... L....

    One of the most beautifully haunting songs that I have ever heard. They should play this at a black mass somewhere in a parallel universe where it red rain drops fall from the sky.

  3. b.... ....

    Jeff buckley im hearing..

    b.... ....

    Well heard
    cuckoo man!

    I have to express this : I really felt the sky becoming darker and darker, and some unexplained pressure in the air... this song is so expressive...

  8. b.... ....

    I discovered it today on a french radio, FIP

  9. s.... ....

    Eva Tuuli makes me think of the wizard of Oz. The storm... The road paved with gold... :)

  21. L.... L....

    once hearing 'the great escape" by patrick watson, all of his other songs will just never be the same...

  22. C.... C....

    this song and video remind me of one of those weird dreams that you can only half remember

  23. U.... ....

    Because popular stuff always get fucked, music becomes shitty because is made only for $

  27. F.... U....
