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 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 5 days in May Made all the stars around them shine Funny how you can look in vain Living on nerves and such sweet pain A loneliness that cuts so fine To find the face you've seen a thousand times Sometimes the world begins To set you up on your feet again It wipes the tears from your eyes How will you ever know The way that circumstances go Always gonna hit you by surprise I know my part You were there In everything I've done You are the one Looking back it's hard to tell Why they stood while others fell All I know is one cloudy day They both just ran away Rain on the windshield heading south She loved the lines around his mouth Sometimes the world begins To set you up on your feet again It wipes the tears from your eyes How will you ever know The way that circumstances go Always gonna hit you by surprise I know my part You were there In everything I've done You are the one
