Music: Randy Kerkman
Lyrics; Hemingway/Kerkman

lyrics

When Ophelia came to Wexford, all the car alarms in Sandycove sang
And the leaves that had fallen to untimely death
rose up and they danced in the wind

Oh hurricane, oh hurricane
50 years since your twisted winds
whispered my old lover's name

Well, the power went out about midday
All the candles were lit in due time
The spider webs swayed, but the clothesline gave way
I brought my things in to dry

Oh hurricane, oh hurricane
50 years gone, I thought we'd all moved along
from your last devastation and pain

Well, the last time we danced like those leaves on the wind
You were down on one knee at the bay
And I gave you my hand, but you're no kind of man
You had blown town by our wedding day

Now the sands on the beach have all shifted
And my tears rolled away with the tide
But my heart has been shattered and sifted
Rearranged with the passing of time

Oh hurricane, oh hurricane
After 50 long years, it still brings me to tears
How the promise you made was in vain

Oh hurricane, oh hurricane
Every time the sea churns, your memory returns
And it leaves me in shambles again
