Washed Away

 

Washed away in a tropical storm

swept into the gutter of lost love

down into the deep dark drains of

oh, how I wish it could’ve been different

 

it’s the only way I can describe losing you

in torrential rain and hurricane winds

that just wouldn\'t quiet

 

until that precious moment

I let go of your so called love

and let it all just run free

 

by opening my eyes

and closing my heart

 

I did it

 

and now?

I will never, ever again

leave home

without a heavy-duty umbrella.
