Artist: The Call Album: Reconciled Title: Oklahoma (some of these lyrics are clearly not what's being sung on Reconciled; they were taken from the 'net and cleaned up somewhat - I have no idea what is being sung where the lyrics differ, so I'm leaving those parts as-is, but noting them with [square brackets].) *** We were shaking in our beds that night There were strangers in the streets that night Preacher cried out "Hell's been raised" The preacher cried out "Hell's been raised" Another hot Oklahoma night Another hot Oklahoma night The kind of night where you just sit still The kind of night where you just don't move We were shaking in our beds that night We were shaking in our boots that night Tornado hit and the roof gave way Tornado hit and all we could do was pray How was I to know what I was to think How was I to know what I was to feel How am I to say what I can't describe How am I to face what I cannot hide We were looking in our hearts that day There was movement in our hearts that day They were talking but we could not hear They were talking but we could not hear Fever broke and the dead raised up The ground broke open and the dead were raised The kind of night where you just sit spooked [It's a hard life, it's a hard life] We were [looking] in our hearts that day We were hugging in our beds that night Storm hit and the roof gave way When a man said "it ain't easy" [But he swore duty, body and soul] How was I to know what I was to think How was I to know what I was to feel How am I to say what I can't describe How am I to face what I cannot hide Momma said [you know she ain't that strong] We were lying in our hearts that day We were praying in our hearts that day We were praying but we could not feel They were praying but we could not feel Another hot Oklahoma night Another Oklahoma night [Fools part as] the day breaks wide [Heaven's doors were] opened wide I can't, I said give up Said I can't stop the night's not gone [Once in a blue moon shown] in that day [And my heart rips] open and all I could do was pray How was I to know what I was to think How was I to know what I was to feel How am I to say what I can't describe How am I to face what I cannot hide Copyright: Michael Been & The Call, mid-80s
