Nightwind cause a rustle
In the sleepy dogwood trees
After hours station
Hangs a blue note on the breeze
Settin' on the back porch
Distant thunder rumbling low
Talkin' to the shamans
On the archipelago

Dancin' in the eye
Dancin' in the eye
Dancin' in the eye
Of the hurricane

Up the road, the quiet girl
With the blue marks on her face
When he don't come home at all
She find the strangest hiding place
Good old boys down on the keys
Sippin' bourbon all alone
Out on the shoals it's building
It wails to call its own

Dancin' in the eye
Dancin' in the eye
Dancin' in the eye
Of the hurricane

Breeze comes up the levee
You lose all track of time
Odour of the ozone
Done in two or three more lines
Funny how it comes to this
You know, it starts with just a breath
Then it grows into the sting
Of everlasting death

Dancin' in the eye
Dancin' in the eye
Dancin' in the eye
Of the hurricane

In the moment that's afforded
To the one who truly seeks
There's the figure of a man
Who calms the storm with words He speaks
Above the voodoo of the damned
Emerging from the haze
A vision of eternal love
In mercy, Jesus saves

Dancin' in the eye
Dancin' in the eye
Dancin' in the eye
Of the hurricane

Dancin' in the eye
Dancin' in the eye
Dancin' in the eye
Of the hurricane

Dancin' in the eye
Dancin' in the eye
Dancin' in the eye
Of the hurricane ...
