lyrics

Tornado
---------

We're with and we're without you
And how your presence felt so ironclad
And you were so devout too
And how I called you Pop instead of Dad
And with the night wind rushing
You made us feel safe even when you were scared
And when your breath was hushing
We felt the spirit and the life you shared

Finally unbound
Funnel up from the ground
Neither lost nor found
Now you know
Tornado
Tornado

When they pulled back the curtain
You held a smile and clutched a single rose
And then I knew for certain
That we would hear you in the doves and crows
And it was cold with no chill
A feeling like the taste of bittersweet
Like no I won't yes I will
It may be finished but its not complete

Weight of your woes
In a final repose
Nobody knows
Where you'll blow
Tornado

Slow motion still ocean soul getaway
Transcending sans ending but done for the day

I'm walking to my car now
And there's a preacher on the radio
No matter where you are now
We will be holding on and letting go

Dusk into dawn
Argument withdrawn
'Cause I say you go on
Like the show
Tornado
