This is an auto-biographical song. Hurrican Bob went through her home town on the same day as her domestic situation fell apart. She went out for a ride on her bike and kept thinking about the similarities of what was going on outside and inside.

  • The wind came round and blew this place apart
  • It's you and me now sitting in the dark
  • The lights are out and everybody's home
  • Its you and me and we are both alone
  •  
  • The lines are down there's just no getting through
  • You stare at me and I stare back at you
  • And in the dark I know that I can't see
  • Cause here you are and still you don't see me
  •  
  • (Chorus)
  • Act of nature, act of god
  • Raging through our sedentary lives
  • We are on the brink
  • We are floundering
  • Spinning in this dark and rising tide
  •  
  • The storm has blown this great big beauty down
  • The branches all confusion on the ground
  • I've watched it grow and thought I knew it well
  • I never dreamed I'd see the day it fell
  •  
  • So bolt the door, seal the cracks
  • Close your eyes don't look back
  • Hold your ears tight against the roar
  • Someone said I should hear
  • Warning cries soft and clear
  • Whispered in the calm before the storm
  •  
  • (Repeat Chorus)
  •  
  • The wind came round and blew this place apart.....
