	Story Behind the Song I had written a song about Australia originally. It was very descriptive but it sounded like a tourism commercial. I realized that that the images I created could be used as a metaphore of a woman being abused. There is the storm coming and the blood red sun through the broken trees. It just all came together one night in about ten minutes. I loved the southern rock feel and the heavy guitar wtih the delicate break. "Dreaming of all that we can be. . .Stretching out across the blue skies", like there is a way out you know. Lyrics Batten down the hatches there's a storm coming A blood red sun is bleeding through the broken trees And a black and blue sky's cryi n like I'm crying for another sunny day Funny how it feels when your gone Like someone lifted a house off of me And the fear is slowly dying like I'm dying to let go and fly away Dreaming of all that we can be stretching out across the blue skies My feet on the ground I pack my things and run away Through the laughing wildflowers Batten down the hatches There's a storm comin You'll soon be breaking dishes in the kitchen sink And your fury's flyin like I'm flyin Through the back screen door to my destiny Dreaming of all that we can be Stretching out across the blue sky My feet on the ground I pack my things and run away Through laughing wildflowers Batten down the hatches there's a storm comin.
