Lightning and Thunder

I saw her standing there

By the river’s edge

The first time I’d ever felt at home

I could feel the weight inside

Bind me to the ledge

Being someone else I’ve never known

I said my name was John but she knew my name was Jim

And you must be the man with no religion

They say you’re cold as ice

But I see kindness in your eyes

But all your life there’s been something missing

But I’ll lead you darling out of the wild

Away from that cold and steam and hunger

A storm’s been raging inside your clouds

That I call your lightning and thunder

For a long long time I’d been a wandering man

But never in the way one tells

You can’t kill the pain with an age old shame

I can’t get in a word in with myself

She said to be just like a man who is made from flesh and blood

Well I can see the ghost that you have been

Who walks into the fire

And who wades across the flood

The ghost is not the soul that makes the man

But I’ll lead you darling out of the wild

Away from that cross you’ve been under

A storm’s been raging inside your clouds

That I call your lightning and thunder

Yeah I call your lightning and thunder
