Amy Speace - Storm Warning lyrics

Get the laundry off the line Tape the cracks in the windows Lock the doors shut the lights Stamp out all the mirrors This is gonna hurt This is gonna hurt Count the gauze and the dressings On the antiseptic shelves Clean the muskets and the bayonets In the arsenal This is gonna hurt This is gonna hurt "The missing gives it meaning" you whispered at my neck You kissed me for the first time right before you left I stood there with my eyes closed praying for your safe return What I wish now that I'd done is beg you not to join Feel the wind direction change The darkening is nearing Electricity is creeping With a pinprick and a tearing This is gonna hurt This is gonna hurt The telegram they brought today was brief and featherweight It said you died a soldier with a brave and quiet grace The war it rages closer I'll prepare for the storm For the coming midnight battles, for all l that I will mourn My wounds will itch and open They will scar in the air It's the love that will linger Like your scent in my hair This is gonna hurt This is gonna hurt
