Mighty, Mighty Storm Lyrics

No one could have guessed, how strong she would be

Marilyn in the fall of '95

And the National Weather Service said "She's weak and moving out fast"

They didn’t get one word of it right

Were you on the rock? Were you on the rock?

When that mighty, mighty storm blew through

It was getting late, so we gathered 'round and prayed

In the strongest walls in the whole town

Trying not to be afraid, we hunkered down to wait

And at midnight she finally touched down

Were you on the rock? Were you on the rock?

When that mighty, mighty storm blew through

Beams began to creak, grown men began to weep

Walls melted like butter in the rain

Beneath the roaring sound, we heard buildings spinning round

And we asked if we'd see daylight again

Were you on the rock? Were you on the rock?

When that mighty, mighty storm blew through

Were you pounded by the raging wind and rain?

What did you cling to when the walls began to strain?

She stopped when morning came

And nothing still remained

But the sound of people crying all around

The hillsides were stripped bare

There were rooftops every where

And boats washed up to the middle of the town

Were you on the rock? Were you on the rock?

When that mighty, mighty storm blew through
