gathering storm

i had a dream

i saw you walking down the road

in a gathering storm

wind on the rise

a black crow was flying

you alone in a gathering storm

i wake up alone in my bed

there's nothing before my eyes

and outside the door

only the sighing

and you out there in a gathering storm

so cover your head

keep your eyes open

make speed in the gathering storm

i rise up and turn on the light

now it's shining in my window

my walls are strong

my chimney's smoking

god speed you

in the gathering storm
