"Stormy Love"

You were my darlin' light

Everything was gonna be all right

And you were my everything

Boy, once you could make me sing

Well, I ain't gonna fly away

And I ain't gonna cry all day

But I might spread my wings

I've gotta do so many things

And I'm gonna love again

Though I'm never gonna be the same

And baby, it's the last dance

My mind won't let me sleep

And baby, it's a stormy love

And this world may knock my looks

And this world may burn my books

But I ain't gonna fly away

And I ain't gonna cry all day

But I might spread my wings

I've gotta do so many things

And I'll turn my red light on

Let it shine when the sun is gone

And baby, it's the last dance

Soon I will be leaving

Baby, it's the last dance

I'll pack my boots and pearls

Baby, it's a stormy world

And you were my everything
