In the Calm Before the Storm

On the Power of Love

In the days before the darkness
My joy was simply visceral
His touch lit up the sky
In the days before the darkness

In the calm before the storm
I left my heart with him
And he took it 'cross the ocean
In the calm before the storm

In the dark before the dawn
I cried myself to sleep
For him, only, I would weep
In the dark before the dawn

In the gloom before the light
The clouds of doubt swirled
Would my faith keep me whole
In the gloom before the light

And, as if the ocean rose up
His love rode the wave home
And my love went anew
Across the wide ocean to him
