1999 Bridge Creek-Moore Tornado Songtext

1999 Bridge Creek-Moore Tornado Songtext

Open wide
Let your throat loose a siren
The storm′s come for your bride
I took the news in silence
Suspended in a time
Stripped of all but my vices
I caught the closest flight
She was gone when I arrived

Don't you find it so inhumane
How you can care for someone′s body
For years, then suddenly have no say?
I would have covered it in spices
And seen before they took her away
And we'd avoid the awful prices
I wish that I could feel anything


But when it fell to pieces
No floor was underneath us
We weaponized the boards
Tried in vain to fend off the serpent lord
Now find me in the reaches

Fading away

See it's height
Like an omen of darkness
Like a freight train a mile wide
I knew we couldn′t stop this
I knew we couldn′t hide
Back in June, ICU
Her blood pressure, "59"
I was waking her all night

Tell me, do I sound like a man
When I'm all sad and sing in tenor?
I′ve tried to run as hard as I can
Until we reach the gates of splendor
But maybe I don't need to get a grip
Maybe I need to let You hold me still
God, if I should let my heart slip
If they won′t catch it, I trust You will


When I told You to crush me
I said it sure You loved me
Shall I suffer to die
Young then leave them wondering why?
If I'm a walking theodicy

What do I say?

SELAH

Our mom was born in Tulsa
We couldn′t keep her pulse up
The cloud from '99
Tears through Oklahoma and through my mind
Should I refuse to get up

Blow me away
