about

We would like to dedicate this song to our dear friend, Rachel. Because this is her story.

lyrics

That year we had a warm October
grass danced at the side of the lake
the band played beneath a moon like amber
in the air I smelled the fresh cut hay
I can see it clearly--the way you smiled when we met
it's the kinda memory that I'll never forget

November tore into my life like a flashflood
I never saw you coming at me tha tway
You took my hand and my heart beat wildly
so reckless but you felt so safe
it was magical all the light in your eyes
like a fairytale you took me by surprise

You swept me off my feet like a beautiful storm
a force like a tidal wave when I was in your arms
lightning to the touch, that kinda rush
you showed up without a warning
I never saw it coming, I shoulda seen it coming
the beautiful storm

February saw a storybook romance
like the weather we were sunny all day
never once did I hear any thunder
how could I have known that you would ever change
I can see it clearly---how I cried when you left
it's the kinda memory that I wish I'd forget

You swept me off my feet
like a beautiful storm
like hail on my windowpane you beat at my haert
lightning to the touch, you hurt me that much
when you left without a warning
I never saw it coming, I shoulda seen it coming
the beautiful storm, oh the beautiful storm

Years past and it's a cold October
dried grass at the foot of the lake
it's been a while but I think I'm getting over
how you ever lied to me that way
I can see it clearly your lacadaisical smile
and I know it now, you were nothing but a lie.

You knocked me off my feet...
