Vent, Tempête

Verse 1

Rain on the window pane

Screaming at the sky again

Mud on my boots splitting roads

Carrying what I can't unload

Storm rolls in off the hill

Thunder shaking down my will

Got a kettle on the stove

And a heart nobody knows

Pre-Chorus

And the wind it knows my name

Whistling through the weathered frame

Maybe I'll just let it howl

Maybe I'm the tempest now

Chorus

Vent, tempête, blow it all away

Take the weight I've carried since Tuesday

Vent, tempête, rattle every door

I ain't bending anymore

Verse 2

Phone's been quiet all week long

Silence sharper than a song

Praying at the kitchen chair

Wishing I was anywhere

But the green hills don't forget

Every tear and every debt

Standing out in open ground

Letting all the anger drown

Pre-Chorus

And the rain it knows my skin

Washing every battle in

Maybe I'll just let it pour

Maybe I'm the tempest more

Chorus

Vent, tempête, blow it all away

Take the weight I've carried since Tuesday

Vent, tempête, rattle every door

I ain't bending anymore

Bridge

Old church bells across the vale

Clanging through the hail and gale

If the sky can break and heal

So can I and so can we

Chorus

Vent, tempête, blow it all away

Take the weight I've carried since Tuesday

Vent, tempête, rattle every door

I ain't bending anymore
