Lyrics
THE STORM'S BEEN RAGING BITTER AND LONG
WITH LOVE'S FOUNDATION IN THE DANGER ZONE
THEN JUST SHORT OF A BAD GOODBYE
TWO HEARTS REACH OUT
AND LOVE'S SAFE FOR NOW
Chorus:
AS THE FLAG OF TRUCE GOES FLYING HIGH
CLOUDS TURN INTO CLEAR BLUE SKY
AND SLEEPING DOGS GET LEFT TO LIE
IN THE EYE OF THE HURRICANE
THE TEARS STOP FALLING AS THE WIND DIES DOWN
PASSION COMES EASY ON COMMON GROUND
THE STORM'S IN HIDING, BIDING IT'S TIME
IT'S NOT OVER YET
SO THEY BRACE FOR THE REST
(Repeat First Chorus)
Bridge:
JUST BEYOND THE EYE BEFORE THEM LIES
A STRONGER WIND TO COME
BUT IF THEY CAN WEATHER ALL THE STORM
AND STILL KEEP HOLDING ON
(Last Chorus:)
WITH THE FLAG OF TRUCE FLYING HIGH
THEY'LL BE STANDING UNDER CLEAR BLUE SKY
CLOSER EVEN THAN WHEN LOVE SURVIVED
IN THE EYE OF THE HURRICANE
YES, THEY'LL BE SO GLAD AS YEARS GO BY
FOR THE EYE
OF THE HURRICANE
