San Antonio Skies

05.14.2008 early a.m.  (words, photos by Robert B.)

The commute in this morning revealed some very dramatic skies following last night's severe storms.  Many trees were blown over during the night including the closest one to my bedroom which crashed into the building no more than ten feet from where I was dreaming of senoritas, margaritas and freeze pops - no, we're not going there, suffice to say that the tree slamming my building didn't  even wake me up.  In addition to the high winds, the area had hail, flashfloods and lightning.

 And these were the morning skies the storms left behind.  I felt like sharing so instead of focusing on my driving, I was focusing on the heavens above (don't attempt unless you're a professional...).  Please Enjoy!

Dark clouds are brewing along the horizon

My heart is twisted into blue

Whirlwinds of fate are shredding my name

My latest forecast is without you

I can't stand another storm

There's nothing left inside of me

I can't stand another storm

Just a wave-tossed soul on a black sea

Hail and lightning crashing from the sky

Inside the darkness I am falling

Heavy raindrops mixing with my tears

Your presence now just an echo calling

I can't stand another storm

My strength is all but wasted

I can't stand another storm

As I remember how our love tasted

Its midnight now and the flood is here

Doomed to be alone at my bitter end

My days in the sun, a long time faded

Disappearing just like you, my friend

I can't stand another storm

There's nothing left inside of me

I can't stand another storm

Just a wave-tossed soul on a black sea

I can't stand another storm

I can't stand another storm

Baby, I just can't stand another storm.
