orphan of the storm
An orphan of the storm She moved to Houston To live below That copper colored sky Louisiana girl Born into losing The skyline of the city Made her cry  [Chorus] So Lord send me down A fallen angel With a miracle to perform And I ain't the kind Who gives up But I'm so tired of rain Lord I'm just an Orphan of the storm  She'd lived there before When she was using Now she's standing on The same old street again Yeah that hurricane It blew her back to Houston Had to give into The devil's howling wind  [Chorus]  Now somewhere down the line There must be salvation She thought it through 20 years ago But sin spoke A constant invitation It was in her veins And wouldn't let her go  [Chorus: x2]
