That kiss you gave me this morning   Was just the calm before the storm   I know in my heart that you're leaving me   For someone else's own      The storm sometimes comes without warning   So I'm thankful that I was forewarned   It gives me a chance to speak to my heart   And to brace myself for the storm      The storm is coming I can feel it   And soon we'll be driven apart   You'll rush to the arms of your new love   Deserting a broken heart      If there was a way I could hold you   With words that are tender and warm   I'd rise and challenge the oncoming waves   And defend our love from the storm      I'd rise and challenge the oncoming waves   And defend our love from the storm
