You show up like a hurricane

All hungry-eyed and weather-stained

The clock forgets to tick and I the same

I died the day you disappeared

So why would you be welcome here

Ride the wind that brought you back away

No you can't come in

No you can't come in

I cannot stop my rebel hands

From pulling out the pots and pans

I left you in the cold until you shook

You're gentle now but I recall

Both tender fire and bitter squall

A history so deep it hurts to look

No you can't come in

No you can't come in

No you can't, you can't come in

If the sea should swallow up my house

I will turn the rooftop inside out

And the wind will be wailing

But I will be sailing faster

Oh the elements I do not fear

But I fall apart when you appear

Cause you are the greatest

The greatest disaster

If the sea should swallow up my house

I will turn the rooftop inside out

And the wind will be wailing

But I will be sailing faster
