They met in a hurricane
Standing in the shelter, out of the rain
She tucked a note into his hand

Later on they took his car
drove on down to where the beaches are
he wrote her name in the sand
never even let go of her hand

Somehow they stayed that way, for those five days in may
made all those stars around them shine

funny how you can look in vain
livin on nerves and such sweet pain
lonlieness that cuts so fine
find the place you've seen a thousand times

sometimes the world begins to set you up on your feet again
and no one wipes the tears from your eyes
how will you ever know the way that circumstances go
Its gonna hit you by surprise
but i know my past you were there
everything I've done, you are the one

Looking back its hard to tell why they stood while others fell
spend your life working it out
all I know's one cloudy day, they both just ran away
rain on the windsheild headed south
oh she loved the lines around his mouth

sometimes the world begins to set you up on your feet again
and no one wipes the tears from your eyes
how will you ever know the way that circumstances go
its gonna hit you by surprise
but i know my past you were there
everything I've done, you are the one
