Once The Storm Is Over

 

 

Travelling the highway,

An empty seat beside me,

Journeying to nowhere,

On a route I cannot see,

 *

Tears along the road side,

And lonely felt despair,

But what’s the use of crying,

Tears won’t bring you there,

*

The emptiness beside me,

Keeps you on my mind,

The thunder in the darkness,

Is the storm you left behind,

 *

But once the storm is over,

There’ll be reason to believe,

Light will come from darkness,

And hope will warm the breeze,

 *

The road ahead will widen,

The signs will all be clear,

I’ll leave the storm behind me,

And cry a goodbye tear.
