The leaves on the tree are turnin' inside out

From the Great White North there's a big black cloud

Run for shelter if you can

There's a storm in the heartland



We made it through the flood of '93

But this is gonna be the death of me

I can't hide the tears of a desperate man

There's a storm in the heartland



She's leavin' me just like a restless wind

And I can see my world is comin' to an end

Like the sounds of thunder empty words ring out again

There's a storm in the heartland

There's a storm in the heartland



The love she gave was like a breath of spring

Sweet and pure as a mountain stream

I couldn't see the danger close at hand

There's a storm in the heartland



She's leavin' me just like a restless wind

And I can see my world is comin' to an end

Like the sounds of thunder empty words ring out again

There's a storm in the heartland

There's a storm in the heartland



There's a storm in the heartland
