Irene (Keep On Going) - Original song by Chase Irwin

This is a song I wrote while I was cooped up during a storm.

Lyrics:

You rolled into town just to steal the blue from the sky
Danger filled the air but I lost myself in the calm of your eyes
You sent my head spinning, not to mention the quickening of my heart
It was so obvious that you'd end up blowing my world apart

You may have shut off all the lights, but they will come back on
and you may control my thoughts tonight, but the sky will clear by dawn

Irene
Just keep on going
Keep on moving on

I try to remember us but the memories are like leaves on the trees
Now that summer's surrendered to the fall, all I've got left of you is the breeze
Even the slightest gust of wind sends a shiver down my spine
Guess you left your mark, a scar that formed long after you said goodbye

You may have shut off all my power, but it will come back on
and you may be the cause of this thundershower, but the rain will stop by dawn

Irene
Just keep on going
Keep on moving on

You're gonna burn out without a doubt
You can't do this forever
Then you'll be on your own, overblown
Just a shell of who you were

Irene
Just keep on going
Keep on moving on
