Lightning struck a while ago And it's blazing much too fast But give it rain of waiting time And it will surely pass Blow over
And it's happening so quickly As I feel the flaming time And I grope about the embers To relieve my stormy mind Blow over
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
Now I feel it in my blood All hot and sharp and white With a whipcrack and a thunder And a flash of flooding light
But there'll be a thick and smoky Silence in the air When the fire finally dies And I'm wondering who'll be left there
