Typhoon Night at the Harbour Diner

Lyrics

The wind came in off the water like a freight train off its track
The sign went down, the power went out, there was no way of turning back
Four of us and a borrowed van, a cook with a candle lit
The whole town huddled in one room, and we figured we'd sing for it

Rain on the window, rain on the door
Nobody leaving, nobody poor

So let it blow, let it howl, we're all here, we're all right
Stomp your boots on the diner floor, we're singing through the night
The typhoon can't take the music, the typhoon can't take the song
We'll be shouting at the morning, we'll be singing all night long

The waitress poured the coffee, said it's free till the sky clears
An old man brought his fiddle out, he'd not played it in years
A kid beat time on a pie tin, the whole room caught the beat
Strangers swapping harmonies with the water at their feet

Rain on the window, rain on the door
Nobody leaving, nobody poor

So let it blow, let it howl, we're all here, we're all right
Stomp your boots on the diner floor, we're singing through the night
The typhoon can't take the music, the typhoon can't take the song
We'll be shouting at the morning, we'll be singing all night long

And when the eye came over us it went so still and wide
We stepped out in the silence and we looked up at the sky
A hundred faces upturned and not a word was said
Then the wind came back and we ran back in, and we sang it all again

So let it blow, let it howl, we're all here, we're all right
Stomp your boots on the diner floor, we're singing through the night
The typhoon can't take the music, the typhoon can't take the song
We'll be shouting at the morning, we'll be singing all night long

Singing all night long
Singing all night long
