Has any one seen the words to this Big Country song called The Storm? Seems fitting:

I came from the hills with a tear in my eye

The winter closed in and the crows filled the sky

The houses were burning in flames gold and red

The people were running with eyes full of dread

 

Ah my James

They didn't have to do this

 

We chased them for miles I had tears in my eyes

Through forest and moor as the clouds filled the sky

The storm broke upon us with fury and flame

Both hunters and hunted washed down in the rain

 

Ah my James

They didn't have to do this

 

I know I can never return

To the time of hope when I was born

Let the strength of peace run through my hand

 

When we walk away from the stormy shore

Then I will be afraid no more

And now I'm sure of where I stand

Let the strength of peace run through this land

 

And nobody smiled as we took back our own

While rain beat upon us the thunder would moan

And nobody smiled when we knew what was lost

We knew well enough only time proves the cost

 

Ah my James

They didn't have to do this

Ah my James

They didn't have to do this

 

I know I can never return

To the time of hope when I was born

Let the strength of peace run through my hand

 

When we walk away from the? stormy shore?

Then I will be afraid no more

And now I'm sure of where I stand

Let the strength of peace run through this land
