Another track with my Gold Tone Octajo. Written specifically for this EP.

lyrics

The tornado blew through town
It tore the Mission building down
Seven citizens lay in the ground
I was the age of fifteen years
And it filled me full of fear
It was the worst thing in my life I'd ever known

As the evening turned to night
The weather warnings came too late
Touching down there was no time to get away
Seeking shelter as we should
To ride the storm out if we could
To see the carnage at first light the next day

There was debris in the air and in the streets and everywhere
As it smashed into the buildings and the cars
And the screaming of the wind seemed like it would never end
I prayed that no one in my family had been harmed

The ferocity so fierce
That the silence felt like death
It was a miracle so many had survived
We'd come through a living hell
With a tale that we could tell
And I'll tell you now it's great to be alive

There was debris in the air and in the streets and everywhere
As it smashed into the buildings and the cars
And the screaming of the wind seemed like it would never end
And I'll tell you now it's great to be alive
And I'll tell you now it's great to be alive
I'll tell you now it's great to be alive
