After the Storm Lyrics

I said I thought it would be colder
You put your head upon my shoulder
Ain't it funny how time just seems to run

What the hell have you been doing
Not too sure guess just mostly moving
I've been spinning for so long and now I guess I'm spun

Like the widest river, like the brightest morn
There hope where you can't see it, there's a light after the storm
But won't you help me to get thru it, I've been flailing like a child
My mistakes they are so many, for my loving heart is wild


Not quite old
Far from young
Body bold with a youthful tongue

Like a kiss held out of context
I can't separate my mind
We can set this boat on fire, we can leave it all behind

Like the widest river, like the brightest morn
There's hope just up ahead, there's a shelter safe and warm
But won't you help me to get to it, I've been selfish I have lied
My mistakes they are so many, for my ruthless heart is wild

Like the winds that sheer the plains and cut you down to size
None but the dust and seeds remain, they root themselves and rise


Like the widest river, like the brightest morn
There is hope where you can't see it, there's a light after the storm
Won't you help me to get through it, I've been flailing like a child
My mistakes they are so many, for my weary heart is wild

Shovels & Rope is American folk duo of husband and wife Michael Trent and Cary Ann Hearst from Charleston, South Carolina.

The duo began with two guitars, a junkyard drum kit (harvested from an actual garbage heap- adorned with tamborines, flowers and kitchen rags), a handful of harmonicas, voices, and above all.. songs. Cary Ann Hearst & Michael Trent prefer to keep it simple. They have cleverly managed to take 3 separate recording projects and combine them into 1 cohesive, folk rock, sloppy tonk, harmonized, loose but tight, streamlined audience killing machine.

Michael Trent (Texas/Colorado) has just released his second solo album entitled "The Winner", and Cary Ann Hearst (Mississippi/Tennessee) is about to release her second record "Lions & Lambs". Together hey have one duo release "Shovels & Rope" which was came out in 2008 and are currently working on the follow up "Shovels & Rope V.2" in their house, van, and backyard. At the shows, expect to hear a little something from any or all of these releases - while the duo switch instruments and share lead vocal duties. Also prepare to rethink your definition of a live rock band. Read more on Last.fm. User-contributed text is available under the Creative Commons By-SA License; additional terms may apply.
