Lyrics
The hurricane glass in the window on State Street
hummed low from the thunder rolling in off the sea.
The air went thick as grits, the color of sweet tea,
and you turned that battery radio up, just for you and me.
[Chorus]
You said, "Let the storm have the whole damn world tonight."

[Bridge]

(Your laugh a gospel shiver on my skin)
[Outro]
The whole world was ending right outside our door.
So we just turned the music up a little more.
