Lyrics
I feel a breeze on my face in expectance Not very long before the storm reaches here Off in the distance a lightning is flashing again Feel something strong as the power draws near Is it the rolling of thunder that scares you? Is it the crashing of clouds that hold fear? But all I know as I sit in a corner alone It takes me back to my childhood again And as I wait and I look for an answer To all the things going round in my head I ask myself, "Could it be a disaster and when?" It's maybe threatening to happen again As the ominous light draws near There's a lone dog howls in the park All the people hurry inside As a lightning flash lights dark The storm is nearly here Only God will know You're sitting alone, you watch As the wind is blowing treetops And the swaying rustling of leaves Plenty of time to perceive As you wait for rain to fall Only God knows The whole sky glows Maybe lightning strikes twice Maybe lightning strikes twice Maybe lightning strikes twice Maybe lightning strikes twice Maybe lightning strikes twice Maybe lightning strikes twice Maybe lightning strikes twice Maybe lightning strikes twice Only God knows The whole sky glows Maybe lightning strikes twice Maybe lightning strikes twice Maybe lightning strikes twice Maybe lightning strikes twice Maybe lightning strikes twice Maybe lightning strikes twice Maybe lightning strikes twice Maybe lightning strikes twice
