It was as though Earl himself was at the cloudy helm of Hurricane Earl. Take a look at Earl’s book…really nice. I miss him on R&F.
This song was mastered, retracked, re-arranged and juggled about by the super musical, super talented John Presley.

Hurricane Earl Douglas
Has blown out all the stars
Rains ripping at the highway
And the evacuating cars
But he got his maps all backwards
And drifted out too far
He burns above the ocean
And wonders where we are
And through the window of the window of the window of the window
Of the house five houses down
I can see a picture on the mantel of the mountains and a poor man leaving town
And through the window of the window of the window of the window
Of the house five houses down
I wonder if the picture on the man above the mountains is a hurricane or clown
When you wake up torn to pieces
So divided
And you Roll straight down the streets but still in bed
And your dreaming of the day you’ll wake united
All the storm clouds clearing from your head
Wind like anesthesia
Tearing at the ground
And scratching at the ocean
And making every sound
But Hurricane Earl Douglas
Fumbled his attack
Now he’s off hanging paintings
And he’s not coming back
Chorus
