lyrics

She sits in the sand with her knees to her chest
And watches the lightning cross the bay
Alone with herself and alone in the dark
She wonders how long she can live this way
She feels the storm draw near
And cries a lonely tear
That melts into the sand

And as the wind begins to blow her hair across her face
She dreams of different times, a different life, a different place
And as the rain begins to fall upon her from the sky
She thinks that maybe she
Could disappear into the night...

She gets to her feet leaves her shoes in the sand
Her tears turn to rage, and her walk to a run
She runs to be free of that treacherous man
Safe from the madness and all he's done
She slips into the night
Til there's nothing left in sight
She has nothing left to lose

And as the wind begins to blow her hair into her eyes
She steps into the waves, holds her hands up to the sky
And as the rain begins to fall upon her, soak her face
She's like a little girl, dancing in the crashing waves...

She turns herself around
Looks back at the town from where she came
As she says her last goodbye
She swears she'll never live that way again

And as the wind begins
To shake the world with all its might
She takes the ring he gave her
Throws it far into the tide
And as the rain begins to wash away the memories
She screams into the night, you'll never ever find me...

And as the breeze begins to gently blow across her face
She's in a different time
A different life, a different place
And when the sun comes up
It's different now, because she's alive
She found her life again
One windy, rainy, stormy night.
