Standard (EADGBE)

An orphan of the storm

She moved to Houston

To live below

That copper colored sky

Louisiana girl

Born into losing

The skyline of the city

Made her cry

(Chorus)

So lord send me down

A fallen angel

With a miracle to perform

And I ain't the kind

Who gives up

But I'm so tired of rain

Lord I'm just an

Orphan of the storm

She'd lived there before

When she was using

Now she's standing on

The same old street again

Yeah that hurricane

It blew her back to Houston

Had to give into

The devil's howling wind

(Chorus)

Now somewhere down the line

There must be salvation

She thought it through

20 years ago

But sin spoke

A constant invitation

It was in her veins

And wouldn't let her go

(Chorus 2x)
