Summer Storm
Keeps me inside when the weather's warm
The city's quiet, the birds hide away
To wait it out for a sunny day
Chorus
And I know
The sky won't always be so low, no
Oh the heat
Down from the sky up from the street
And in between we sweat the hours away
Dreaming of cooler autumn days
Chorus
Purple sky
The clouds roll over, so do I
This heavy heat, no one can hold it up
We stay inside with windows shut
Chorus
If I run into the rain
And drink a cupful
Will it cool
The heat that won't stop keeping me up till morning?
Will I be the only one out in the summer storm?
