Slow Motion Hurricane

(album: A Field Guide To Loneliness - 2020)

Well he went out on a bender
Gave his old lady a thrill
He was the king of the castle
And then that bender went down hill
He said some things that he come to regret
She impolitely left the room
He did some things that he'd like to forget
That lead their dying love to doom
Now they're alone again
Wondering if things will ever change

Life is a slow motion hurricane
Love is a slow moving dream
Soon as you think you're the belle of the ball
Your dress starts tearing at the seams

Family sits 'round a table
Three generations gathered 'round
Somebody digs out a hatchet
That should've stayed down in the ground
Sometimes a word rings too easy
Maybe that's because its true
Father saying nothing as he stares down at the floor
Wondering what the hell to do
It ain't like the movies
But even still it really ain't all bad

Life is a slow motion hurricane
Love is a slow moving dream
Soon as you think you're the belle of the ball
Your dress starts tearing at the seams

Life is a slow motion hurricane
Love is a slow moving dream
Soon as you think you're the belle of the ball
Your dress starts tearing at the seams
