Lightning Bolt
Morning, its another pure grey morning
Don't know what the day is holding
When i get up tired and i walk right into the path of a lightning bolt
Siren of an ambulance comes howlin', right through the centre of town and no-one blinks an eye
And i look up to the sky in the path of a lightning bolt
Met her as the angels parted for her, but she only brought me torture
But that's what happens when it's you that's standing in the path of a lightning bolt
Everyone i see just walks the walk with gritted teeth
But i just stand by and i wait my time
They say you gotta toe the line, they want the water not the wine
But when i see the signs i'll jump on that lightning bolt
Chances, people tell you not to take chances
And they tell you that there aren't any answers
And i was starting to agree
But i woke suddenly
In the path of a lightning bolt
Fortune, people talking all about fortune
Do you make it or does it just call you
In the blinking of an eye
Just another passer-by in the path of a lightning bolt
Everyone i see just walks the walk with gritted teeth
But i just stand by and i wait my time
They say you gotta toe the line, they want the water not the wine
But when i see the signs i'll jump on that lightning bolt
Silence, i was lying back gazing skyward
When the moment got shattered
I remembered what she said
And then she fled in the path of a lightning bolt
