   G
An orphan of the storm
              Am
She moved to Houston
    C
To live below
      D              G 
That copper colored sky
   G
Louisiana girl
           Am
Born into losing
      C             D
The skyline of the city

Made her cry

    G
So lord send me down
         Am
A fallen angel
                      D
With a miracle to perform
                 C
And I ain't the kind

Orphan of the storm

She'd lived there before
When she was using
Now she's standing on
The same old street again
Yeah that hurricane
It blew her back to Houston
Had to give into
The devil's howling wind

(Chorus)

Now somewhere down the line
There must be salvation
She thought it through
20 years ago
But sin spoke
A constant invitation
It was in her veins
And wouldn't let her go

(Chorus 2x)
