A Time of Love and Lust

A great storm arose, the raindrops fell; fierce winds whipped up the dust It was then that I recalled to mind, a time of love and lust The storm, it had no mercy - the winds were raging too The rain had blotted out the sky, no sun was shining through Our love was chilled until that storm; we had few words to speak The fire had dimmed between us, no sparks from week to week The storm blew in and took our home; destroyed all that we had Mementos of the past we shared, now lost - our hearts were sad Though time did render our passion cold, we had each other still No matter what was lost to us, our love was ever real We held each other tight that night, though sad - we did not pine We fell into each other's arms; we lost all sense of time We gazed into each other's eyes and, suddenly! we knew It was through the storm's destruction that our passion blazed anew! We can and will rebuild our dream from the rubble left behind We'll gather our strength and forge ahead, and courage we will find We'll find again the things we lost; we'll gather up the stones We'll work through blood, through tears and pain, our fingers to the bones We'll find a way to start again; we will not be afraid Together we will carry on until all debts are paid The storm destroyed the material things that built up over time That filled our lives and put our love and passion in a bind But now we know that never again will we give up the chance To keep our love and passion strong - we'll make time for romance
