Once The Storm Is Over

Travelling the highway,

An empty seat beside me,

Journeying to nowhere,

On a route I cannot see,
 

Tears along the road side,

And lonely felt despair,

But what’s the use of crying,

Tears won’t bring you there,
 

The emptiness beside me,

Keeps you on my mind,

The thunder in the darkness,

Is the storm you left behind,
 

But once the storm is over,

There’ll be reason to believe,

Light will come from darkness,

And hope will fill the breeze,
 

The road ahead will widen,

The signs will all be clear,

I’ll leave the storm behind me,

And cry a goodbye tear.
