Lyrics
They said that she was coming...
And they told me I should leave...
I thought that they were bluffing...
I didn't want to believe...
The signs were all around me...
The sky was getting dark...
The wind started blowing...
And my dog began to bark...
They said her name was Sandy...
She tore right through my town...
She came with such a fury...
That she knocked the boardwalk down...
The water rose so high...
It swept my car away...
It creeped into my house...
from the ocean and the bay...
Oh, Sandy... Why'd you have to be so cruel?
You took almost everything... Now I'm a miserable fool...
