Lyrics
I see the lights aflashin'
I hear the thunder roar
Somewhere on the dark side of town
My baby's with a new love
The wind is out of the North
I should be with her right now
Cold sheets of rain pouring down
Is my love safe and warm
Where is she sleeping now
Cold sheets of rain pouring down
I worry so about her
She's afraid of storms
I don't know how to ease her mind
She needs someone to love her
To keep her safe and warm
Someone who's patient and kindDemo Videos
