‘Intimate Storm’ was produced and written by Homer Banks and Chuck Brooks for their Soundtown label in 1984, spawning four R&B chart songs, including "This Used To Be Your House," which cracked the Top 40. This great album highlights Shirley’s inimitable voice performing eight wonderfully soulful songs.

Shirley Brown - This Used To Be Your House

Love Songs

After All

If they come for me
And they might
Don’t run to me.

Don’t scream.
Don’t fight.
Don’t throw anything.
Just go.

Run to the woods,
where the trees still remember our names.
Take the cassette.
Take the water.
Leave the photograph.
It’s not who I am now.

If they ask,
tell them you hated me.
Say I was wrong.
Say I lied.
Say I left.

But remember
I’ll be in the smoke
that rises after their fire.
I’ll be in the static
of that broken radio.

I’ll be a voice in the pipes
When you wash your hands and..
I’ll be nowhere
but near.
And you..

If they ask,
tell them you hated me.
Say I was wrong.
Say I lied.
Say I left.

But remember
I’ll be in the smoke
that rises after their fire.
I’ll be in the static
of that broken radio.

If they come for me
And they might
Don’t run to me.

Don’t scream.
Don’t fight.
Don’t throw anything.
Just go.

Run to the woods.

After All
