Lyrics

Baby I'm ripped and torn, a summer storm, a whirlwind outta control
The fire and wind, that just won't end til the damage takes it's toll
I'm a raging sea, the savage beast, the dust that won't settle down
And I'd have crashed and burned but the tables turned when you came around

And girl I need you like a troubled man needs a glass of something strong
Like a child needs a lullaby to soothe whatever's wrong
Like a man needs shelter from a hard rain when it's storming/pouring
Like Saturday night needs Sunday morning

You¹re the summer breeze in the Aug. heat the cool grass between my toes
When the north winds bite you¹re the fireside that shields me from the cold
You¹re the time that flies a sweet surprise like a gift ya don¹t expect
You¹re the words I sing, the key to everything my heartbeat and my breath

And girl I need you like a troubled man needs a glass of something strong
Like a child needs a lullaby to soothe whatever's wrong
Like a man needs shelter from a hard rain when it's storming/pouring
Like Saturday night needs Sunday morning

I'm a raging sea, the savage beast, the dust that won't settle down
You¹re what I need to carry me back to solid ground
