| After the hurricane, after the wind and rain | |
| When we lost everything, after the hurricane | |
| It was not the driving rain | |
| That let our love go down the drain | |
| It was not the howlin' wind | |
| That blew away the hopes I planned | |
| After the hurricane, after the wind and rain | |
| When we lost everything, after the hurricane | |
| We were sheltered from the storm | |
| In what we thought was safe and warm | |
| We survived the risin' tide | |
| But there's no place that we can hide | |
| After the hurricane, after the wind and rain | |
| When we lost everything, after the hurricane | |
| Things were scattered, things got tossed | |
| But that's not what we had lost | |
| It's a way of marking time | |
| To fit the reason to the rhyme | |
| After the hurricane, after the wind and rain | |
| When we lost everything, after the hurricane | |
| After the hurricane, after the wind and rain | |
| When we lost everything, after the hurricane |
