lyrics

The midnight bells have tolled
To mark the passing of the night
Through them old oak windows
Creeps a soft and pale moonlight
Across the beds of burning lovers
Or so the story goes
Lately the only thing been burning 'round here
Is the restlessness in Johnny's soul

He fashioned himself a poet
Seeking healing in the word
He'd say 'man, love that's the only warmth left
In a cruel and selfish old world'
He swam into the peaceful seas
Of his lover's eyes
Now the waters have turned wicked
And Johnny's swimming for dear life

Storm of love
Don't let me drown in the rising flood
Don't let us fade in this storm of love

Johnny wakes to the church bell's clang
He throws on blue jeans and a shirt
His lungs still burning on a cigarette butt
As he flagged down the bus to work
And there he saw the same hard eyes
Stripped of all emotion
There's a lot of broken hearts
In the broken hearts club
Seeking purpose for their devotion

Storm of love
Don't let me drown in the rising flood
Don't let us fade in this storm of love

Johnny gets home after a few drinks
Katie's lying awake in bed
Only damp sheets and silence greets him
And the doubt raging in her head
He gazes into her once blue eyes
Now they're a cloudy shade of grey
Johnny pulls her near in the pale moonlight
And whispers ''honey, I promise we'll find our way''

Storm of love
Don't let me drown in the rising flood
Don't let us fade in this storm of love
Storm of love
Don't let me drown in the rising flood
Don't let us fade in this storm of love
