Hailstorm from The Quiver by In These Trees and Tartie

HAILSTORM
Lyrics by Binnie Klein, Music by Tartie


Got caught in a hailstorm
Thought of you
Looked over my shoulder
Thought of you
Swept my fears under
Thought of you
Begged for amnesty
Thought of you
Listened to a mandolin
Thought of you
Heard the moans of minor tones
Thought of you
Kept the beat alive
Thought of you
Laughed loud in a crowd
Thought of you

Sleeping through the night
The shadows fought the light
We staggered to our feet
And waved a welcome to the neat….
This is the place where lovers meet
And plot and scheme to love again

Kept myself to myself
Thought of you
Had a second helping
Thought of you
Cracked a double egg yolk
Thought of you
Made it to the corner
Thought of you
Saved a praying mantis
Thought of you
Walked into the fog
Thought of you
Fixed a broken button
Thought of you
Got back on the horse
Thought of you
Helped myself recover
Thought of you
Refilled all the bowls
Thought of you
Sweetly rang the bells
Thought of you
Thinking of you
Thought of you
Thinking of you
Thought of you

Sleeping through the night
The shadows fought the light
We staggered to our feet
And waved a welcome to the neat
This is the place where lovers meet
And plot and scheme to love again

Got caught in a hailstorm
Thought of you
Looked over my shoulder
Thought of you
Swept my fears under
Thought of you
Begged for amnesty
Thought of you
Listened to a mandolin
Thought of you
Heard the moans of minor tones
Thought of you
Kept the beat alive
Thought of you
Laughed loud in a crowd
Thought of you

Sleeping through the night
The shadows fought the light
We staggered to our feet
And waved a welcome to the neat


This is the place where lovers meet
And plot and scheme to love again
