Storm In A Teacup
Susan McKeown

What the Fates have decreed and the Prince of Darkness
And the Five Fools who stirred up the clouds at the gates to the Hidden Land
There's only so much storm you can take
There's only so much tea you can drink in a morning

Has it all turned into a lie you keep coming up with questions
About things that happened long ago
You wrung out your heart like a black cloud
Now see that storm coming up over your brow

Is your world turned upside down
Is it hard for you to love me now
Is your world turned upside down

They knew nothing, nothing at all and they put me on trial
I'd forgotten what it looked like to look in your eyes
And see all that madness and mistrust
And if you must hate yourself then you must
