Lyrics
sixteen crows sitting on a barb wire fence
Flap their cloaks and move for cover
Now it's deathly silent even the sigh of the wheat grown's still
but for the thunder rumble, distant thunder rumble

When the wind comes home
Breath of an angry god
there nothing left but to run for cover run for cover

When the wind comes round
to reap the devil's share
there's nothing left but to throw your curses to the air

Now I lay me down to sleep
Pray the Lord my home to keep
For the winds prowling round my door
And it's moaning hungry moaning hungry

And If die before I wake
I pray the storm my home to take
I'm a foolish man whose built on sand
And I feel it sinking feel it sinking' x2

Intense
and awe inspiring just like what you're writing about. I think Johnny Cash would love your stuff. Well done, Adam. Thanks.

Wierd
Situation. YOu can't help but be moved at the plight of the poor people in the path of the destruction, yet as a floridian, I can't help but blame them as well. Build on a flood plain, build in the middle of tornado alley...

I envision a version of this with bass, drum, and piano, think it's worth doing?

Thanks!
Like most of my popular pieces it put itself together in a very short time! I think I need to think less and let things just compose when the mood strikes me.

Signature
Those opening chords evoked many of your songs, Adam, for me, and amount to a sort of signature, like Johnny Cash's rockabilly intros did for him. It's not to say that your songs are the same, far from it, just that your individual identity is strong, and recognisable from the get-go.

Great to hear another song from you. As always, powerful, engaging, compelling.

You go with what you feel
There are certain chords which resonate with me, and like you said, amount to a signature you KNOW it's me when you hear it. :)
