October

about

The lyrics to this song were written in October 2012, right after Hurricane Sandy hit.

A mother considers the frailty of her surroundings after a natural disaster strikes her city.

lyrics

Oh home
Come home
My darling
Oh darling

From a window I can see
All that is holy to me
Child dancing in the street, watching me

Wind starts blowing
Almost howling
Always howling

One at a time, they had fallen
Held up by houses, hanging on by a string

Oh home
Come home
Wind starts blowing
Almost howling
And I'm hanging on by a wire

Oh home
I am praying
You are safe
