I saw it coming from a hundred miles away
I saw the sky turn from sapphire to grey
Every bird around had flown right out of sight
It was broad day but it looked like midnight

The branches dance a supernatural dressage
Everyone anticipating your barrage
They told me to board up the doors and all the glass
Told me to run for cover, wait for it to pass

You're a cyclone - once you get near me I won't know my home
You're a cyclone - once you get near me I will never never know my home again
I won't know my home

Now I lay out before you like a plain
The sky is darkening, it starts to rain
But lighting shows me something here
What is this? what's growing near?

Get near me now, get near me

You’re a cyclone - once you get near me I will never know my home no more
Kick! down! the glass and the doors! ‘cause I want you to come in

Get near me now, get near me
