From the recordings C.R. 434 and No Place To Hide
The song is very dark and sad but carries the all important message to listen to your heart, not your head. The consequences of failing to do so are dire.
Lyrics
It started years ago when the weather was just fine,
I had this perfect girl and she was really mine.
But I chose to walk away, no more sunshine in my day.
So I left and went to college, didn’t take so I went to war,
Southeast Asian War games, Life ain’t fun no more.
Should’ve never left that woman, she was my anchor and my why.
And there’s this storm inside me ragin’ and it never will subside,
‘Cause of choices and decisions made, there’s no place I can hide.
Started smokin’, drinkin’ and snortin’, tryin’ to make pain go away,
So tired of anger and hurtin’, wish I could die today.
Should’ve never left that woman, she was my anchor and my why.
Without either of us knowin’ where each other was,
She reached right out and touched me like an angel from above.
Should’ve never left that woman, she was my anchor and my why.
And there’s this storm inside me ragin’ and it never will subside,
‘Cause of choices and decisions made, there’s no place I can hide.
How could I turn my back on a gift come straight from God?
Now I’ve paid all my dues and there’s no end in sight.
Without her even knowing, she pulled me through tough times,
And though my life is better, the storm still rages nigh.
Should’ve never left that woman, she was my anchor and my why.
So listen well my brother to what I here impart,
Don’t listen to your head; just listen to your heart.
So you never leave that woman, who is your anchor and your why.
Because there’ll be this storm a ragin’ and it never will subside,
‘Cause of choices and decisions made, there’s no place you can hide.
You can’t hide.
You can’t hide.
You can’t hide.
