They met in a hurricane

Standing in the shelter, out of the rain

She tucked a note into his hand.



Later on they took his car

drove on down to where the beaches are

he wrote her name in the sand

never even let go of her hand



Somehow they stayed that way, for those five days in may

made all those stars around them shine



funny how you can look in vain

livin on nerves and such sweet pain

lonlieness that cuts so fine

find the place you've seen a thousand times



sometimes the world begins to set you up on your feet again

and no one wipes the tears from your eyes

how will you ever know the way that circumstances go

Its gonna hit you by surprise

but i know my past you were there

everything I've done, you are the one



Looking back its hard to tell why they stood while others fell

spend your life working it out

all I know's one cloudy day, they both just ran away

rain on the windsheild headed south

oh she loved the lines around his mouth



sometimes the world begins to set you up on your feet again

and no one wipes the tears from your eyes

how will you ever know the way that circumstances go

its gonna hit you by surprise

but i know my past you were there

everything I've done, you are the one
