On the first day that I saw you
Walkin' home in your muddy boots
'Cross the empty fields at harvest time
Hummin' a familiar tune
I stopped and sang with you
We watched the yellow moon rise
verse 2
Later on outside your fence
We shared a little dance
I knew I loved ya even then
And in that autumn sky
We watched a storm go by
It's been that way ever since
Oh babe it's sure been a whirlwind
A twirlin' twister touchin' down on the ground
In a dozen little sleepy towns
Blowin' like a gale full of rain clouds and thunder
Without hearts full of hunger
And our hopes lookin' upward once again
Babe it's been a whirlwind
verse 3
There were babies died and babies born
Flood and drought and world war
We saw the worst years and the best
In every town another chance
Tryin' to build a winning hand
Even when the cards were stacked against
verse 4
Oh and I remember why we dance
Gentle as a passing a glance
The warmth of your breath against my cheek
Then hearin' that loud thunder roll
On and on we strolled
Went racin' home down rainy streets
Oh babe it's sure been a whirlwind
A twirlin' twister touchin' down on the ground
In a dozen little sleepy towns
Blowin' like a gale full of rain clouds and thunder
Without hearts full of hunger
And our hopes lookin' upward once again
Babe it's been a whirlwind
Oh babe it's sure been a whirlwind
A twirlin' twister touchin' down on the ground
In a dozen little sleepy towns
Blowin' like a gale full of rain clouds and thunder
Without hearts full of hunger
And our hopes lookin' upward once again
Babe it's been a whirlwind
Oh Babe it's been a whirlwind
