Lyrics
:
"This is called Where Were You Hiding When The Storm Broke?" Born into a war and peace Forced to choose between right and wrong Each man kills the thing he loves For better or for worse Face to face with a ragged truth Mixed up and torn into two And turned your back on the only thing That could save you from yourself WHERE WERE YOU HIDING (FOUR) WHEN THE STORM BROKE (WINDS) WHEN THE RAIN BEGAN TO FALL (HOWL) WHEN THE THUNDER AND THE LIGHTNING STRUCK AND THE RAIN AND THE FOUR WINDS DID HOWL After all time building up Comes inevitable knocking down (ONE BY ONE) Comes receivers liars gamblers Pick pocket entourage (TWO BY TWO) Selling out is a cardinal sin Sinning with a safety net (THREE BY THREE) They say that all things come in threes Well here comes the third degree WHERE WERE YOU HIDING (FOUR) WHEN THE STORM BROKE (WINDS) WHEN THE RAIN BEGAN TO FALL (HOWL) WHEN THE THUNDER AND THE LIGHTNING STRUCK AND THE RAIN AND THE FOUR WINDS DID HOWL "How you doin' Boston, allright?" "Let's sing it up" All cards are marked All fates will collide 'Cause the truth is the truth Or the truth is surely a lie Get back in your shelter If you can't come down off the fence And one more question Where were you? Oh, where were you? WHERE WERE YOU HIDING (FOUR) WHEN THE STORM BROKE (WINDS) WHEN THE RAIN BEGAN TO FALL (HOWL) WHEN THE THUNDER AND THE LIGHTNING STRUCK AND THE FOUR WINDS DID HOWL WHERE WERE YOU HIDING (FOUR) WHEN THE STORM BROKE (WINDS) WHEN THE RAIN BEGAN TO FALL (HOWL) WHERE WERE YOU HIDING (FOUR) WHEN THE STORM BROKE (WINDS) WHEN THE RAIN BEGAN TO FALL (HOWL) WHERE WERE YOU HIDING FOUR WINDS HOWL
