lyrics

The woodsmoke floats out and mingles with the fog
(There's a storm coming)
In the spring, we'll be deafened by a chorus of unseen frogs
(There's a storm coming)
The chickadees weave at light-speed through the trees
(There's a storm coming)
The whir of their wings is the only stir of breeze
(There's a storm coming)

(There's a storm coming)
It'll be alright
(It'll blow in the door, it'll turn out the lights
There's a storm coming)
And you'll be just fine
(When the sun goes down, it'll be a long dark night)

The shadows on the spruce make a thousand different greens
(There's a storm coming)
The sun stoops low to wish them pleasant dreams
(There's a storm coming)
The stars arise and swing wide to make room
(There's a storm coming)
For the sly, half-lidded hound's eye of the moon
(There's a storm coming)

(There's a storm coming)
It'll be alright
(It'll blow in the door, it'll turn out the lights
There's a storm coming)
And you'll be just fine
(I hope the wild ones have somewhere to hide)

(There's a storm)
It's the winds of change
It'll blow itself away
(And if the roof caves in?)
It'll be okay
Just hold on 'til daylight breaks

There's a chill in the air that gets into your very bones
The empty woods echo and make you feel alone
There's an ominous look to the swaying of the trees
I think I can smell a storm coming on the breeze
