Lightning

[Verse 1]

Lightning struck a while ago

Blazing much too fast

But give it rain of waiting time

And it will surely pass

And it will surely pass

Blow over

[Verse 2]

And it's happening so quickly

And I feel the flaming time

And I grope about the embers

To release my stormy mind

To release my stormy mind

Blow over

Blow over

[Bridge]

Shaken this has left me

And laughing and undone

With a blinding bolt of sleeplessness

That’s just begun

And a windy crazy running

Through the nights and through the days

And a crackling

Of the time burned away

Burned away

Burned away

[Verse 3]

Now I feel it in my blood

All hot and sharp and white

With a whip crack and thunder

And a flash of flooding light

A flash of flooding light

Oh, oh

[Verse 4]

But there'll be a thick and smoky

Silence in the air

When the fire finally dies

Who'll be left there?

Oh

[Outro]

In the ashes of time

Burned away

Burned away
