This Tornado Loves You

Lyrics

My love, I am the speed of sound I left them motherless, fatherless Their souls dangling inside-out from their mouths But it's never enough I want you I carved your name across three counties And ground it in with bloody hides Their broken necks will line the ditch 'Til you "Stop it! Stop it! Stop this madness!" I want you I have waited with a glacier's patience Smashed every transformer with every trailer 'Til nothing was standing Sixty-five miles wide But still you are nowhere, still you are nowhere Nowhere in sight Come out to meet me, run out to meet me Come into the light Climb the boxcars to the engine Through the smoke and to the sky Your rails have always outrun mine, so I Picked them up and crashed them down In a moment close to now Cause I miss, I miss, I miss, I miss, I miss, I miss, I miss, I miss How you'd sigh yourself to sleep When I'd rake the springtime across your sheets My love, I am the speed of sound I left them motherless, fatherless Their souls dangling inside-out from their mouths But it's never enough My love, I'm an owl on the sill in the evening But morning finds you Still warm and breathing This tornado loves you What will make you believe me?
